Bucks' Taurean Prince Undergoes Neck Surgery, Status Indefinite

The Bucks plan to cover his minutes through internal adjustments rather than immediate roster moves.

Overview

  • The procedure to address a herniated disc was performed by Dr. Robert G. Watkins IV at the Watkins Spine Center in Los Angeles.
  • Prince had averaged 6.1 points on 42.9% three-point shooting with steady defensive contributions this season.
  • Doc Rivers said Milwaukee will lean on Amir Coffey and Gary Harris and could shorten the rotation to manage the loss.
  • Additional minutes could go to Kyle Kuzma and the guard group as the team looks to replace Prince’s perimeter spacing.
  • Near-term external help is considered unlikely due to roster constraints, and the team said updates on Prince’s recovery will be provided as needed.
