Pete Nance News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Drops out of rotation Nance (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 128-117 win over the Heat.

Impact Nance had appeared in each of the Bucks' previous 16 games, but after logging just five minutes two days earlier in a blowout loss to the Raptors, the third-year big man dropped out of head coach Doc Rivers' rotation entirely Tuesday. The 26-year-old's playing-time outlook probably won't improve in the near future, as the impending return of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will leave even fewer minutes available in the frontcourt.

Notches 11 points in win Nance notched 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 win over the Thunder.

Impact Myles Turner (calf) was held out for the final game before the All-Star break, but he's considered day-to-day. Jericho Sims saw 20 minutes with the starting group, but Nance was more effective in his 24-minute stint. Nance is trending up in deeper formats and is a player to monitor after the break.

Good to go Nance (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Orlando.

Tabbed questionable Nance is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando due to a sprained left ankle.

Impact Nance is at risk of missing Wednesday's game due to an ankle injury. The 25-year-old has become a key part of the Bucks' rotation lately, averaging 7.2 points and 2.8 rebounds across 15.5 minutes per game over his last 12 appearances.

Just short of double-double Tuesday Nance finished Tuesday's 131-115 victory over the Bulls with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes off the bench.

Impact The third-year center set a new season scoring high while falling a couple boards shy of his first career double-double. Nance has seen a bigger role in the Bucks' frontcourt the last couple weeks due to injuries, averaging 17.7 minutes over the last seven games and producing 7.6 points, 4.0 boards, 1.3 threes, 0.9 assists and 0.7 steals a contest. Depending on the state of the roster in the wake of a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, Nance could maintain or even increase that workload.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Bucks' first move after trade deadline is already crystal clear If the Milwaukee Bucks free up a roster spot in the coming days, Pete Nance could certainly be deserving of it.

FEBRUARY 2 • BEHINDTHEBUCKPASS.COM

Solid line in loss Nance finished with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 loss to Washington.

Impact This was a strong showing for Nance after seeing a combined 14 minutes in his last two appearances. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined and in the rumor mill, Nance is someone that could carve out a larger role for himself in the second half of the season. He's someone to monitor closely in deeper formats.

Gaining foothold in rotation Nance logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes Wednesday in the Bucks' 122-102 loss to the Thunder.

Impact One of Milwaukee's two-way players, Nance has seen the majority of his playing time in the G League this season, but he seems to be building a case for a regular spot in the NBA rotation. After head coach Doc Rivers surprisingly turned to Nance for a 15-minute appearance in a two-point win over the Hawks on Monday, the 25-year-old big man doubled up his minutes count Wednesday while Myles Turner (ankle) was sidelined. Though he'll see a reduction in playing time if Turner is back for Friday's contest against the Nuggets, Nance likely did enough in the loss to the Thunder to maintain his spot on the second unit for at least one more game.
