Pete Nance News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Suiting up but not playing Sunday Nance (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Sixers but will not play, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Head coach Doc Rivers relayed to reporters that Nance is technically available but will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Cormac Ryan, Taurean Prince and Andre Jackson should all see an uptick in playing time due to Nance's absence. Nance started in six of his last nine outings with the Bucks, and over that span he averaged 8.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 threes over 28.4 minutes per contest.

Starting vs. Brooklyn Nance will start Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Back to bench Nance won't start Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact With Ryan Rollins returning to action, Nance will shift back to a bench role after posting his first career double-double during Friday's loss to Boston. Nance has played at least 30 minutes in seven of the last 10 games (five starts) for the shorthanded Bucks, averaging 9.3 points, 5.1 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 29.0 minutes during that stretch while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 41.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Bucks' easiest decision of the offseason is already staring them in the face The Milwaukee Bucks should already be thinking about guaranteeing Pete Nance's contract for next season.

Productive in spot start Nance closed Wednesday's 119-113 loss to the Rockets with 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds and one block over 40 minutes.

Impact Nance is expected to play a bigger role in the final days of the regular season for a Milwaukee team that doesn't have anything to play for, and if he performs like he did Wednesday, he should be an excellent fantasy pick-up. He has started in four of Milwaukee's last five games, but he's averaging just 10.0 points and 4.2 boards per game in that stretch. There's a chance this 23-point output was just an outlier and not a sign of things to come in the coming games.

Steps up with 13 points off bench Nance registered 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact The two-way player matched a season high in minutes Tuesday, providing a lift off the bench. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) set to miss at least one week, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bucks take an extended look at Nance. The third-year forward still has several obstacles to climb for playing time, as the likes of Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis, Ousmane Dieng and Jericho Sims all remain heavily involved in the Milwaukee rotation.
