42 Robin Lopez C

Lopez will not play in Wednesday's Game 2 against the Heat, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lopez hasn't played in any of the Bucks' past three playoff games, and he's deemed inactive for Game 2, with Frank Mason in uniform instead. It seems like Lopez might not have a role going forward.

Lopez (coach's decision) did not see the floor during Saturday's 118-104 Game 5 victory over the Magic.

Lopez didn't log a single minute of action in the final two games of this first round series against Orlando. He logged only 20 minutes through the first three games as well, and given that Miami has mostly been relying on lineups with one big man since the restart, Lopez may not be involved in the upcoming second round series.

Lopez will start Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

The rationale for the swapping one Lopez brother for the other is unclear, but it appears Brook Lopez will move to the bench, while Robin gets the starting nod.

Lopez turned in 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes Monday in the Bucks' 109-95 loss to the Nuggets.

With twin brother Brook among the seven Bucks rotation players who sat out due to injury or rest, Lopez jumped into the starting five and benefited from an uptick in minutes. While he wasn't really able to turn in any eye-popping numbers, his production was probably good enough to pay dividends for those who used him as a punt-play option in DFS contests. Lopez should move back to a bench role and see his playing time tail off Thursday, when Brook will likely slot back into the starting five in the Bucks' matchup with the Celtics.

Lopez is starting Monday's game against Denver.

Lopez has seen a dropoff in playing time over the last few contests, scoring just four points in 15 minutes of action in his last two games, but he'll be in line for more minutes Monday given Milwaukee's injury picture.

Lopez is not starting Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Lopez received the start Monday and provided 11 points, three blocks, one rebound and one assist in 33 minutes, but he'll return to the bench with his brother, Brook Lopez (back), rejoining the starting five. Robin should return to his usual 13.5-minute workload off the bench.

Lopez notched 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three blocks, one rebound, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 137-134 overtime win at Washington.

This was Lopez's third start of the season and while he did register three swats, he didn't do much in other areas of the game. He should head back to the bench as soon as his brother, Brook Lopez, is healthy and available again.

Lopez will get the start at center for Monday's matchup with the Wizards.

Lopez will replace his brother, Brook Lopez (back), in the starting lineup. He has averaged 8.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across 23.1 minutes in two other starts this season.

Lopez (illness) posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), two blocks and one rebound in 16 minutes off the bench Tuesday in the Bucks' 151-131 win over the Wizards.

Lopez missed the past three games -- including the team's win over the Hornets in Paris last Friday -- but he was deemed ready to go for the start of the Bucks' three-game homestand. He assumed his usual role as the backup center to his brother, Brook, bumping Dragan Bender out of the rotation in the process.

Lopez is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Lopez was battling a fairly severe illness that kept him out for the last three games, including the team's trip to Paris. But he's no longer listed on the injury report, so expect Lopez to resume his role as the primary backup to his brother, Brook, at center.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Lopez (undisclosed), who is out Monday against the Bulls, will not travel to Paris for Milwaukee's upcoming game against the Hornets, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Lopez is apparently dealing with a "body injury"/"illness" and will miss at least two more games as a result. With the Bucks headed overseas following Monday's game against Chicago, Lopez will benefit from a full week of recovery before Milwaukee returns home to face Washington on Jan. 28.

Lopez (undisclosed) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

The official NBA injury report lists Lopez as out with a "body injury"/"illness," so there's some mystery regarding what issue is actually keeping him sidelined for a second straight game. In any case, Lopez's absence should clear the way for Dragan Bender to work as the primary backup to starting center Brook Lopez. Bender played 21 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 117-97 win over the Nets, contributing six points, six rebounds and one assist.

Lopez (illness) is considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Lopez is nursing an illness and, barring significant progression, is expected to sit out his second game in three days. The big man has been a nice addition for Milwaukee, but he's not fantasy relevant.

Lopez (illness) will not play Saturday against the Nets, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

With Lopez out, the Bucks will be short some backup center minutes. Ersan Ilyasova and D.J. Wilson are strong candidates to help fill in.

Lopez is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Brooklyn due to an illness, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lopez appears to have fallen ill at some point after Thursday's game against Boston. While it's unclear if he'll play, an absence would portend extra minutes for D.J. Wilson and Ersan Ilyasova.

Lopez won't play Tuesday against the Knicks for rest purposes.

Lopez has yet to miss a game this season, so he'll take a seat for rest purposes Tuesday evening. D.J. Wilson could see more action at center as a result.

Lopez amassed 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-3 FT), five rebounds and one block in 19 minutes during Saturday's 127-118 victory over San Antonio.

Lopez scored an efficient 14 points off the bench Saturday. He has now scored in double digits in four of his past five games and has been putting up value in deeper formats. If his brother ever misses time, Lopez could vault into the standard league conversation quite quickly. Until then, the minutes are simply not there to support significant production.

Lopez totaled 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 21 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 victory over Cleveland.

With this game well and truly over midway through the third quarter, Lopez was able to help himself to additional playing time down the stretch. The veteran center has the ability to contribute in multiple categories whenever he is afforded the opportunity. Unfortunately, as long as he is coming off the bench behind his brother, he is merely a player to consider in deeper formats.

Lopez will come off the bench Wednesday against the Pistons, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Lopez will return to his usual bench role with his brother, Brook, back in action Wednesday. When coming off the bench, Lopez is averaging 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in 13.5 minutes.

Lopez tallied 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 24 minutes during Saturday's 137-96 win over the Hornets.

Lopez drew the start in place of Brook Lopez (sore back), and Robin proceeded to sink a career-high three treys. It's unclear whether Brook will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup versus the Knicks, but if so Robin can be expected to draw another start.
