Wesley Matthews - NBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Back with Bucks on one-year deal Matthews and the Bucks agreed Thursday to a one-year contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Matthews joined the Bucks in December last season and quickly became a meaningful part of the rotation. Notably, he started his final 18 appearances (including playoffs), averaging 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.6 minutes. He shot 39.4 percent from three during those games. His role could be scaled back next season based on who else Milwaukee targets in free agency. Plus, it will be Matthews' age 36 season.

Finds stroke despite loss Matthews ended with 12 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 116-108 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Matthews hit double-digit scoring for just the second time across nine playoff contests. However, the veteran is connecting on 44.1 percent of his triples in 3.8 attempts per game over that span. Matching Grayson Allen in terms of role, Matthews will look to carry his momentum into Game 5 on Wednesday.

Four steals in win Matthews had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and four steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 116-100 win over the Bulls.

Impact After combining for just four steals over 11 games prior, Matthews was a pick-pocketing fiend Wednesday. Coupled with knocking down multiple threes in four games this series against Chicago, Matthews is doing his part in filling the void of Khris Middleton (knee). Matthews three-point prowess will remain on display until Middleton returns.

Returns to starting lineup Matthews will start Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Even with the Bucks shorthanded, Matthews operated off the bench during Friday's loss to the Clippers, but the veteran forward will return to the starting lineup with the rest of Milwaukee's regulars back in action. As a starter this season (10 games), Matthews has averaged 8.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 28.8 minutes per game.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Matthews isn't starting Friday's game against the Clippers, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Although the Bucks will be playing shorthanded Friday, Matthews will come off the bench against the Clippers. He should still see increased run in spite of his bench role.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Modest performance in start Matthews finished Tuesday's 118-116 win over the 76ers with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes.

Impact Matthews drew the start over a healthy Grayson Allen, but the latter outproduced the former in relatively similar playing time. The veteran wing has started three of the past four games and has averaged 4.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists during that stretch.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Starting over Allen Matthews will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Matthews will surprisingly get the nod over a healthy Grayson Allen. Matthews has started just eight games this season, with averages of 8.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.4 minutes during those nods.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in start Matthews recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 126-98 win over the Bulls.

Impact With Khris Middleton (wrist) sidelined, Matthews made his seventh start of the season. The veteran forward was efficient from the field en route to his first double-digit scoring performance since Jan. 10.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Starting for injured Middleton Matthews will start Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact With Khris Middleton (wrist) out, Matthews will make his seventh start of the season. In his six previous, he's averaged 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists in 29.2 minutes.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Solid effort across 20 minutes Matthews contributed eight points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 135-126 win over Sacramento.

Impact Matthews made the most of his time on the court Wednesday, scoring eight points on only four shot attempts and grabbing his most rebounds since early January. The veteran knocked down a clutch three-pointer with less than two minutes remaining that broke a 126-126 tie and sent Milwaukee off to victory. Matthews has regularly played 20-plus minutes since mid-February, but his production has been too tepid to warrant fantasy consideration.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Matthews is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against OKC.

Impact Matthews missed Sunday's showdown with the Suns due to a sore hamstring, but all indications are that he'll be back in action Tuesday. With Grayson Allen (hip) sidelined, Matthews could very well find himself in the starting lineup.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Matthews is out Sunday against the Suns due to left hamstring soreness.

Impact Matthews appeared in each of the Bucks' last five matchups and averaged 4.4 points in 23.0 minutes per game during that time. DeAndre' Bembry and Jevon Carter should see an uptick in playing time Sunday.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in return Matthews chipped in three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 20 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Matthews missed the Bucks' previous contest with a toe injury but managed to log 20 minutes Thursday. He didn't do much during his time on the court, however, notching as many fouls (three) as points and adding little in terms of peripheral stats. Matthews hasn't reached double-digit points in a game since Jan. 10 and isn't a viable fantasy asset this season.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Matthews (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Matthews will take the court despite a toe injury. Matthews has been struggling, shooting just 25.6 percent from the field for 2.3 points in 16.7 minutes across the past 12 games.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Probable vs. 76ers Matthews (toe) is probable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact With Grayson Allen (hip) doubtful, it's possible Matthews sees extra run during the Bucks' final game before the All-Star break. That said, Matthews has been struggling, shooting just 25.6 percent from the field for 2.3 points in 16.7 minutes across the past 12 games.

FEBRUARY 15 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Out Tuesday Matthews has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Pacers due to soreness in his right toe.

Impact Matthews and George Hill (neck) have both been ruled out for Tuesday, and Pat Connaughton (finger) recently underwent surgery, so Jordan Nwora and two-way guard Lindell Wigginton may see increased roles behind Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen. DeAndre' Bembry, who was signed by the Bucks on Tuesday, may also play a factor in the rotation Tuesday, but it remains unclear if he'll be able to join Milwaukee in time for the 8:00 PM ET tip.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Matthews was forced to exit the Bucks' contest against the Kings early as he suffered a left knee contusion. The 35-year-old missed Milwaukee's most recent game against the Cavaliers as well. Expect Jordan Nwora and Donte DiVincenzo to see increased minutes Friday if Matthews faces any setbacks.
