Bucks’ Taurean Prince Out Indefinitely With Herniated Disc in Neck

MRI confirmation leaves his return timetable unknown.

Overview

  • ESPN and Shams Charania reported Monday that the 31-year-old sustained a herniated disc in his neck and is expected to miss a significant period.
  • The Bucks said an MRI last week identified the injury and that he is sidelined indefinitely as doctors map out a treatment plan.
  • He missed the past two games and had been ruled out of Monday’s visit to Dallas after the team initially labeled the issue a neck strain.
  • Prince logged eight appearances this season, averaging 6.1 points in 21.1 minutes and shooting 42.9% from three off the bench.
  • With Prince unavailable, Milwaukee’s wing rotation may shift after recent starts for A.J. Green and Gary Trent Jr., with possible upticks for Kyle Kuzma and Amir Coffey.
