Wesley Matthews News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks | FOX Sports

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.

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.

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 8, 2022 • 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.

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.

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.

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.

Giannis pours in 50 to lead Bucks past Pacers 128-119

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a season-high 50 points, two off his career best, and pulled down 14 rebounds to lead the Milwaukee Bucks past the skidding Indiana Pacers 128-119

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, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Matthews (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Matthews sustained a left knee contusion in Saturday's win over the Kings but will be back in action following a one-game absence. He's averaged 4.0 points in 19.0 minutes per contest across his last four appearances.

JANUARY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Matthews (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Knicks.

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.

Love scores 25, Cavs make 19 3s and stun champion Bucks

Kevin Love scored 25 points, Cedi Osman added 23 and the Cleveland Cavaliers made 19 3-pointers in a 115-99 win over the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks

JANUARY 27, 2022 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Wednesday's contest Coach Mike Budenholzer said that Matthews (knee) didn't practice Monday and won't be able to play in Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Matthews left Saturday's game against the Kings with a left knee contusion, but it remains unclear how much time he will miss. Rodney Hood, Donte DiVincenzo and other guards/wings could be in store for increased minutes for the duration of Matthews' absence.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with bruised knee Matthews suffered a bruised left knee during Saturday's game against the Kings and will not return, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Matthews has settled into a comfortable role as a shooter off the bench for Milwaukee, so a potential absence will certainly affect the rotation. On a positive note, the Bucks don't play again until Wednesday, giving Matthews longer-than-usual time to recover. If he sits out Wednesday, more minutes could be in store for Rodney Hood, Donte DiVincenzo and other guards/wings.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will come off bench Monday Matthews will come off the bench during Monday's contest against the Hawks.

Impact Matthews has started the last six games, but the Bucks will opt to start George Hill and Grayson Allen in the backcourt against the Hawks. As a reserve this season, the veteran is averaging 5.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game.
