Iffy for Monday Connaughton (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Connaughton missed his second consecutive game Sunday against the 76ers, but he remains day-to-day. The Bucks could be very shorthanded Monday, so guys like Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter could see increased roles.

Iffy for Sunday Connaughton (calf) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact After missing Friday's loss to the Hawks, Connaughton could miss a second straight game for Milwaukee as he deals with a left calf strain. The 31-year-old veteran hasn't made much of an impact in the 29 games he's played for the Bucks off the bench this season, averaging 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Iffy against Atlanta Connaughton is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hawks due to a left calf strain.

Impact Connaughton has received inconsistent playing time for Milwaukee this season but could be forced to sit out Friday. If Connaughton is ultimately downgraded to out against Atlanta, Gary Trent and Taurean Prince would be candidates to receive increased playing time.

Increased run sans Middleton Connaughton contributed two points (1-2 FG), five rebounds and three assists across 16 minutes during Thursday's 125-96 victory over Miami.

Impact The veteran guard saw a bump in playing time with Khris Middleton (ankles) on the shelf. Connaughton will likely continue to struggle finding meaningful minutes unless injuries arise, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 13.6 minutes per contest. However, he has also received five DNP's via coach's decision in January.

Little impact in loss Connaughton finished Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Nets with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 10 minutes.

Impact Connaughton returned to the floor for the Bucks on Thursday night but failed to make much of an impact, playing only 10 minutes against the Nets. The veteran guard has only played four games in the last 19 for Milwaukee. He's averaging 4.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 37.8 percent from the floor and 29.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Drops out of rotation Connaughton (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Wednesday's 122-106 win over the Bulls.

Impact Connaughton appears to have lost his spot in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation, as the veteran wing has now failed to get off the bench in both of the Bucks' last two games. Taurean Prince, Gary Trent, AJ Green and Andre Jackson are currently serving as the Bucks' primary options on the wing, and Connaughton's path to playing time will only become more blocked once Khris Middleton (ankles) is ready to make his NBA debut. Connaughton shot just 35.5 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range while averaging 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.6 minutes over the Bucks' first 13 games of the season before dropping out of the rotation.

Hits two three-pointers in win Connaughton recorded six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime victory over the Pistons.

Impact With Milwaukee's rotation down to only eight players Wednesday, Connaughton logged a season-high 24 minutes and two threes off the bench against Detroit. Over 12 reserve appearances for the Bucks this season, the 31-year-old veteran swingman is still supplying just 4.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.3 minutes per game. However, fantasy managers may see Connaughton take on a more pronounced role from the second unit once again if star guard Damian Lillard (concussion) and sixth man Bobby Portis (elbow) remain sidelined for Saturday's favorable matchup with the Hornets.

Good to go vs. Cleveland Connaughton (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Connaughton was hobbled by a left adductor strain during the Bucks' loss to the Cavaliers on Saturday, during which he went scoreless over 10 minutes. It won't hold him out of action, however, as he'll be available off the Bucks' bench Monday.

Pat Connaughton/Blake Wesley NBA Tracker: Oct. 28-Nov. 3 Not the best week for the former Notre Dame players.

Iffy for Monday Connaughton is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left adductor strain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Connaughton was held scoreless for the first time this season during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, so while he's expected to play through the issue, it may impact his effectiveness. In his first five appearances of the season, Connaughton averaged 4.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 17.2 minutes per game.
