MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out multiple games Matthews (calf) will miss at least the Bucks' next two games, Sunday versus the Suns and Tuesday in Brooklyn, Justin Garcia of the Milwaukee Bucks Radio Network reports.

Impact Matthews was sidelined for Milwaukee's first game following the All-Star break due to a right calf strain and was previously ruled out for Sunday, but he's now been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup as well. At this point, it appears like the veteran guard will be out indefinitely, but until the Bucks release an official timetable, we'll continue to update his status game-by-game. Following the matchup in Brooklyn, the Bucks return home to face Orlando on Wednesday, which is currently Matthews' next chance to suit up.

Out again Sunday Matthews (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Suns.

Impact Matthews will miss a second straight game due to a right calf strain. It's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again, but his next chance to do so will arrive Tuesday in Brooklyn.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal results in OT win Matthews posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds over 10 minutes during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime victory over the Celtics.

Impact Although the Bucks went into overtime Tuesday, Matthews saw his lowest minutes total since Jan. 23 and had minimal production. He's been held to single-digit scoring marks in his last six appearances and has averaged 2.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game during that time.

Antetokounmpo scores 54 points, Bucks beat Clippers 106-105

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 20 of his 54 points in the fourth quarter and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a 21-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 106-105 on Thursday nigh...

Scores season-high 11 points Matthews logged 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 124-115 win over the Hornets.

Impact Matthews dropped in three triples en route to a season-high 11 points Tuesday. While this was a nice little bonus for anyone who happened to stream him in on such a low-volume night, it really highlights that he is a spent force at this point. Prior to this game, he had failed to score more than eight points all season. Outside of some deep-league streaming, he should remain a permanent fixture on waiver wires everywhere.

Fails to score despite garbage time Matthews racked up zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one steal over nine minutes during Friday's 138-109 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Matthews re-entered the rotation Friday, soaking up some garbage time minutes as the Bucks were embarrassed by the Hornets. Prior to this game, Matthews had not even been in the rotation. While he will likely play a role at some point, his days of being a fantasy asset are well and truly behind him.

Gets 14 minutes in return Matthews (COVID-19 protocols) logged 14 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 128-111 win over the Warriors, finishing with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and...

Impact Matthews was on a playing-time restriction in his first game back following a week-long stay in the NBA's health and safety protocols, but he likely wouldn't have seen much more than the 14 minutes he received Tuesday even if he hadn't missed time beforehand. The 36-year-old is expected to remain a fringe member of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation moving forward, and he may see all his minutes go away once Jrue Holiday (illness) is able to play again.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Minutes to be monitored Tuesday Matthews (COVID-19 protocols) will be available Tuesday but will have his minutes monitored, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Matthews rejoins the action after five games on the sidelines, so the staff will watch the veteran's minutes as he eases back into action. He should see that restriction lifted in the coming games.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Matthews (COVID-19 protocols) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Matthews has missed the last two games due to the league's health and safety protocols, but he'll be able to suit up Tuesday. However, Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable, so Matthews isn't guaranteed to see the court against Golden State.

DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Matthews (COVID-19) won't play in Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Matthews will miss his second straight game due to being in health and safety protocols. However, Matthews hadn't played in the previous three games due to Khris Middleton's return. So even if the veteran forward is cleared for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, there is no guarantee he'll play.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Matthews won't play Friday versus the Mavericks after entering the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Impact Matthews hadn't been included in the Bucks' rotation in the previous three games, as the return of Khris Middleton has left no minutes available for the former Marquette standout. After Friday's contest, the Bucks will continue their Texas swing with a game Sunday in Houston, and Matthews could have a tough time clearing the protocol before then.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Wednesday Matthews has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to the league's health and safety protocols.

Impact Matthews didn't appear in the last two games, and he'll now be unable to suit up due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his absence shouldn't have a significant impact on the Bucks' rotation.
