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.

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.

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.

Paces Milwaukee in preseason win Nance notched 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes in Monday's 103-93 preseason win over the Heat.

Impact Nance led the Bucks in scoring and three-pointers during an efficient performance. The two-way player bounced around in the 2024-25 campaign, appearing in 13 regular-season games (one start) between the Bucks and 76ers. He also played in 21 G League outings between the Wisconsin Herd, Cleveland Charge and Delaware Blue Coats, averaging 14.2 points, 6.3 assists, 2.8 assists and 1.3 blocks across 30.7 minutes per game. He's expected to spend most of his time with the Herd in the 2025-26 campaign.

Plays in garbage time Nance scored two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in seven minutes in Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers.

Impact Nance recorded his first points with the Bucks in their blowout win Monday. The 25-year-old signed a two-way deal on February 27, but has appeared in just two games that featured minimal playing time. The team's depth at center is currently shallow with Bobby Portis suspended and Jericho Sims (thumb) out for the regular season, but Doc Rivers has employed Giannis Antetokounmpo at the five instead of giving minutes to Nance.

Makes team debut Nance (ankle) played the final 1:57 of Thursday's 126-106 win over the Lakers, recording no statistics during his time on the court.

Impact After signing a two-way deal with the Bucks on Feb. 28, Nance made his organizational debut at the tail end of the blowout win. Before taking the court Thursday, Nance hadn't played at the NBA or G League level since Feb. 12 while he recovered from a left ankle sprain. He'll likely see the bulk of his playing time in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd moving forward.

Impact Nance has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. However, Nance has yet to make an appearance for the Bucks since Jan. 29.
