Fantasy Impact: Rollins remains in Milwaukee despite having his qualifying offer rescinded. The final year of his new contract is a player option. After making 19 starts last season, he could compete for an immediate starting role with Damian Lillard waived. Rollins will be a player to monitor in training camp.

Damian Lillard has been waived by the Milwaukee Bucks after the team signed Myles Turner. The remaining $113 million contract will be stretched over the next five seasons. (Source: Shams Charania via X)
Fantasy Impact: If the Myles Turner signing wasn’t enough, the Bucks waiving Dame is icing on the cake. He was already going to miss most if not all of the 2025-26 season, but this type of move involving a star player does not happen often. Lillard will try to find a team that is willing to take him on in the hopes that he can recover and get back to form, much like the Nets with Kevin Durant several years ago.

Bobby Portis Jr. intends to sign a three-year, $44 million contract to return to the Milwaukee Bucks, with a player option for 2027-28. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Portis played 49 games with the Bucks last season, including seven starts, averaging 13.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 25.4 minutes per game. He should continue to provide the Bucks' bench with a significant scoring punch.

Fantasy Impact: Porter was traded to the Bucks midseason and appeared in 30 games with the team. He carved out a steady role off the bench, averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 19.9 minutes per game. At 25, he’s expected to draw significant interest thanks to his athleticism, scoring ability and playmaking upside, making him a valuable offensive contributor with room to grow.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are scheduled to meet after the season to discuss both his future and the future plans for the team. (Source: Shams Charania)
Fantasy Impact: The season came to an end for the Bucks in round one of the NBA playoffs this season. Antetokounmpo is under contract for another two seasons followed by a player option on his current contract with Milwaukee. This will be the biggest storyline to monitor this offseason.
Tyler Smith has been ruled out for Game 5 on Tuesday against the Pacers.

Jamaree Bouyea scored 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3PT, 4-6 FT) to go with seven assists, two steals, and two blocks in Sunday's 140-133 OT win over the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Bouyea appeared in very few games for the Bucks this season, but he was able to start and see a lot of work on Sunday. He did great in that game, finishing with 15 points on the night while contributing well in several other areas of the game. He could earn more work for himself moving forward if he continues to play well in his limited opportunities.

Kyle Kuzma scored 22 points (8-10 FG, 5-7 3PT, 1-1 FT) and grabbed two rebounds through just 12 minutes of action in Sunday's 140-133 OT win over the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Kuzma was limited to just 12 minutes of action on Sunday, but he was absolutely electric through his limited work. He scored 22 points on just two missed shots, which left him with a strong fantasy total on the night. With the playoffs set to start in the very near future, now would be a great time for the veteran to get a hot hand.

Pete Nance scored 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3PT) to go with six rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in Sunday's 140-133 OT win over the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Nance saw 43 minutes of action in Sunday's overtime win with Milwaukee missing several key players against the Pistons. He set a new career high in points with 19 on the night and was also able to log six rebounds and five assists to go with that. This was a great game for him, but he's not expected to play a big role for the Bucks in the playoffs.
