Overview

  • Milwaukee said an MRI last week confirmed a herniated disk in Prince’s neck and he will sit out indefinitely while a treatment plan is set.
  • ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the veteran forward is expected to miss a significant period of time.
  • Prince missed the past two games after the issue was first labeled a neck strain and had averaged 6.1 points in 21.1 minutes with 42.9% three-point shooting over eight appearances.
  • Doc Rivers must rework wing minutes, with Kyle Kuzma and Amir Coffey positioned to absorb a larger share in smaller lineups.
  • The Bucks remain short-handed with Kevin Porter Jr. recovering from Nov. 3 meniscus surgery after an earlier ankle sprain, with the team previously estimating about a month out.
