Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Leads with 22 points in finale
Rotowire
Ryan contributed 22 points (8-20 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to Philadelphia.
Although Ryan's shot was slightly off, his 20 shot attempts and agile assist total earned him the first double-double of his NBA career. The UNC rookie has performed quite well since moving to the parent club last month, and he made the most of his two starting opportunities with averages of 25.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over the two-game span. The Bucks will experience a major shake-up from top to bottom in the offseason, and Ryan will likely be part of a youth-based rebuild.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Puts up career-high 28 points
Rotowire
Ryan amassed 28 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 125-108 win over the Nets.
Making his first career start, Ryan dropped a career-high 28 points Friday. While the two-way player failed to make the team back during training camp in the fall, Ryan linked back up with the Bucks in February after a strong stint with the Wisconsin Herd and is certainly beginning to show some promise at the NBA level. Over his last six contests, Ryan has averaged 19.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 32.1 minutes per game.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Goes for 25 points vs. HOU
Rotowire
Ryan ended with 25 points (9-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 loss to the Rockets.
With most of Milwaukee's regulars taking a night off, Ryan provided a huge spark off the bench for a second straight appearance, as he had 13 points across 20 minutes in the loss to the Clippers on March 29. Ryan can be a decent scoring weapon as a reserve, but if that role doesn't change, his fantasy appeal will remain limited to being a streaming, matchup-based alternative in deep leagues.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Provides spark off bench
Rotowire
Ryan totaled 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Clippers.
With Ryan Rollins (hip), Kevin Porter (knee), Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Bobby Portis (wrist) and Myles Turner (knee) all sidelined, the Bucks were left with eight active players Sunday and summoned Ryan from the G League's Wisconsin Herd to soak up some playing time. The two-way player provided a scoring punch off the bench, but he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn once some or all of the injured players return.

The sharpshooter can now bounce back and forth between the NBA club and the Herd as needed. Through 29 G League appearances, Ryan is averaging 20.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.2 minutes per game while shooting 42.3 percent from three-point land.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Waived by Bucks
Rotowire
The Bucks waived Ryan on Monday.
The Bucks included Ryan on their training camp group initially, but the team is beginning to trim down their roster ahead of the regular season. The guard remains in play for a spot with the G League's Wisconsin Herd, and he averaged 12.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game across 37 appearances for the Oklahoma City Blue last year.
