Brook Lopez Will Return Wednesday
Brook Lopez (ankle) will be available to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. This will be the first time Lopez has played since he sprained his ankle on Dec. 18. Lopez will have a minutes limit and hasn't lived up to the expectations in LA. Both Julius Randle and Andrew Bogut will see their minutes reduced with Lopez back in the rotation. Head coach Luke Walton has not announced if Lopez is starting or coming off the bench.

Brook Lopez Cleared To Face The Warriors
Brook Lopez (shoulder) will play on Monday versus the Warriors. The veteran didn't suit up for the February 3 loss to OKC, his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But despite appearing on the injury report ahead of Milwaukee's previous three games, Lopez has been out there. That trend will continue on Monday against Golden State. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out of commission for a few weeks, Lopez might see a bump in production, which could last until The Greek Freak is back on the floor.

Brook Lopez Cleared For Action
Brook Lopez (knee) will play on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Lopez recently missed one game due to a back issue and is currently nursing a knee contusion. However, the ailment will not keep him off the court Friday night, as the team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Lopez has averaged 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks across two prior matchups against the Hawks this campaign.

Brook Lopez Available On Wednesday Night
Brook Lopez (back) will play against the Hornets. The veteran missed his first game of the 2024-25 campaign on Monday versus OKC due to back soreness. But the Bucks also didn't have Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Bobby Portis (personal), and Damian Lillard (groin). However, with Lopez, Antetokounmpo, Portis, and Lillard all available, guys like Chris Livingston, Ryan Rollins, AJ Johnson, and Tyler Smith can be removed from fantasy lineups.

Brook Lopez Ruled Out Monday
Brook Lopez (back) will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Despite dealing with a back issue, Lopez put in a 32-minute shift against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. However, he will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (groin), Khris Middleton (ankle), and Bobby Portis (personal) on the sidelines against the Thunder. With so many regulars out of the lineup, the rest of the team will have a massive role to play in Monday's contest.
