Plans to join Milwaukee Prince intends to sign a contract with the Bucks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Prince spent last season with the Lakers and averaged 8.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game over 78 regular-season appearances. While he began the 2023-24 campaign as a starter, he moved to the bench to close out the season. However, he could compete with Pat Connaughton for a starting role during the 2024-25 campaign. Regardless of whether Prince can secure a starting role, he should be able to carve out consistent minutes in Milwaukee.

Not on injury report Prince (personal) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Prince was unavailable Friday against the 76ers while tending to a personal matter, but coach Darvin Ham said after the game that he expected the 30-year-old to return to action Sunday. It appears as though Prince will be able to do so, and he's averaged 7.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per game over his last six appearances.

Won't play Friday Prince has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers due to personal reasons, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Prince was a late addition to Friday's injury report, and he'll be unable to suit up while tending to a personal matter. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return to action Sunday against Indiana, but Cam Reddish and Rui Hachimura could see increased usage in his absence.

Delivers in clutch win Prince logged 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Monday's 116-104 win over the Thunder.

Impact Prince was efficient and played a critical role as a floor spacer as the Lakers knocked off one of the top teams in the Western Conference. Prince's emergence snapped and ugly streak of compiling just six points on 3-for-12 shooting in 46 minutes of action across his last 3 appearances. He is averaging 6.4 shots per game since the All-Star break, so his production almost entirely depends on his ability to get hot from beyond the arc.

MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Prince will return to a reserve role in Friday's game versus the Spurs, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Prince started in place of LeBron James on Thursday, but the latter is returning Friday. As a result, Prince should take on his usual reserve role off the bench.

Tallies double figures in start Prince amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 win over the Jazz.

Impact Prince earned the start Wednesday due to the absence of LeBron James (ankle), Cam Reddish (ankle) and Max Christie (ankle), ending as one of six Lakers players in double figures in scoring to go along with a trio of rebounds. Prince has been a valuable role player for Los Angeles in being able to shift between the bench and starting lineup this season, something that has been key for instances like Wednesday with a list of players inactive. Prince has reached double figures in scoring in two of his last four games and in four of his last seven appearances.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting at Jazz Prince will start during Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact As expected, Prince will step into the starting lineup with the Lakers down LeBron James (ankle), Cam Reddish (ankle) and Max Christie (ankle). In 47 starts this season, Prince is averaging 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists. However, most of those starts came with the Lakers at or near full health.

Lakers News: Darvin Ham Discusses Taurean Prince Coming Off Bench Against New York Has Ham finally learned from this experience?

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Taurean Prince: Being benched allowed him to be more aggressive Although Taurean Prince was moved out of the Lakers’ starting lineup versus the Knicks, he was able to see it in a positive light.

FEBRUARY 5, 2024 • USATODAY.COM

Moves to bench Prince will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Khobi Price of The Orange County Registerreports.

Impact Prince has started in all 47 of his appearances coming into Saturday, but the Lakers are mixing it up with Rui Hachimura joining the first unit. Prince figures to be a key contributor for the bench unit for his floor spacing.

Starting against Clippers Prince (knee) will start Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Prince missed Sunday's contest against Portland due to left knee soreness, but it was mostly for maintenance. the veteran doesn't have any restrictions for Tuesday and will jump back into the starting lineup alongside Rui Hachimura and Anthony Davis in the frontcourt with LeBron James (ankle) getting the night off.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Prince (knee) isn't on the Lakers' injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Prince was held out of Sunday's action against Portland due to left knee soreness, but he appears ready to return Tuesday. This is welcome timing for the Lakers, and Prince will likely be asked to shoulder a heavier workload than usual with LeBron James (ankle) already ruled out.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Sunday Prince (knee) will not play Sunday against Portland, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Prince will be sidelined due to left knee soreness, marking his first absence since Nov. 4. Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura are primary candidates to fill the void, although it's unclear who would enter the starting lineup.

JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Prince is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left knee soreness, Khobi Price of The Orange County Registerreports.

Impact In addition to Prince, LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (Achilles) are questionable, while Cam Reddish (knee) is probable. Prince has cooled off in January, posting averages of 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.8 three-pointers on 38.6 percent shooting from the field.

JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting after all Prince will start Monday's game against the Thunder, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McMenamin initially reported that Jarred Vanderbilt would enter the starting five in place of Prince, but coach Darvin Ham later stated that he misheard McMenamin's question during his pre-game press conference and confirmed that Prince would remain in the starting lineup. Prince is averaging 9.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists through six January appearances.

JANUARY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Prince isn't starting Monday's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Prince will serve in a bench role for the first time this season, as the team has elected to roll with Jarred Vanderbilt at small forward Monday night. Head coach Darvin Ham noted in his pre-game presser that the Lakers will likely stick with this starting five for the "foreseeable future," per Khobi Price of The Orange County Register.

JANUARY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps producing on offense Prince registered 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Prince's role in the Lakers' offensive scheme is to be a floor spacer and three-point shooter, but he's been nothing short of excellent as such. Despite holding a secondary role behind stars such as LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Prince has scored in double digits in five of his last seven appearances while averaging 12.2 points per game over his last 10 appearances. He's also shooting 42.1 percent from three-point range in that 10-game stretch.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drains five threes in loss Monday Prince contributed 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 126-115 loss to Boston.

Impact Prince has been excelling as a three-point menace for the Lakers, and he drained at least two threes for the ninth game in a row. He's shooting 47.2 percent from beyond the arc in that stretch, and while his fantasy upside is almost exclusively tied to what he can do as a shooter, he's making the most of his chances of late. Playing with LeBron James at point guard while opposing defenses plan for Anthony Davis should also open up shooting opportunities for him, particularly from the corner three, which has been his bread and butter of late.

DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 16 vs. Chicago Prince closed with 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-108 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Prince was an inconsistent scorer over the first few weeks of the 2023-24 campaign, but he's been much more reliable since the start of December, scoring in double figures in six of his last eight appearances. During that time, he's averaged 12.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 32.1 minutes per game, all of which surpass his season-long averages. The 29-year-old profiled more as a streaming candidate earlier in the season, but he's had relatively sustained success this month.

Good to go Friday Prince (knee) is Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet for Friday's game versus the Spurs.

Impact Prince has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with left knee soreness. The 29-year-old forward is set to make his 20th straight start for the Lakers.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Prince is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to left knee soreness, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Prince has been battling soreness in his left knee off and on since the beginning of November. He's still been playing heavy minutes, however, averaging 11.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.2 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes over his last six contests. We could see more of Cam Reddish and Rui Hachimura if Prince is unable to go against the Spurs.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 15 in loss Prince chipped in 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 127-125 loss to Dallas.

Impact Prince has been inconsistent on the scoreboard for most of the season, but he scored 15 points for a second consecutive game Tuesday and has now scored in double figures in three of his last four appearances. He's been efficient from beyond the arc recently, converting 58.3 percent of his three-point attempts over his last seven appearances. During that seven-game stretch, Prince has averaged 10.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in 28.6 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores just two points Prince totaled two points (1-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 win over the Rockets.

Impact Prince certainly wasn't shy with 11 shot attempts, so the Lakers are still giving him the green light. Prince's workload in November has been solid with 30.1 minutes per game in eight contests, but he's averaging just 7.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures Prince closed with 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 win over Portland.

Impact With Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) unavailable, Prince has started all eight of his appearances this season. However, Prince has scored in double figures just three times and is averaging meager production elsewhere (1.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 30.4 minutes per game). With Vanderbilt due to be back in a few weeks, Prince could lose all streaming appeal.
