Lopez recorded three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 26 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 win over the Nets.
Lopez was a non-factor for most of the night, while Bobby Portis erupted for 23 points off the bench. Despite this dud, Lopez has been pretty reliable for most of the season, as he's on pace to post top-50 value in nine-category formats for his steady supply of three-pointers (1.8) and blocks (2.2).

Lopez probably suffered the contusion in the season-opening win over the 76ers on Wednesday, where he recorded 10 points, eight rebounds, six assists and six blocks across 36 minutes.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Sees limited minutes Sunday
Rotowire
Lopez posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 15 minutes in Sunday's 120-87 preseason loss to the Pistons.
It seems coach Doc Rivers tried to limit the minutes of the potential starters in this preseason opener, as no player reached the 20-minute threshold. Lopez will open the 2024-25 season as the starting center and should see steady minutes down low as Giannis Antetokounmpo's frontcourt partner.
