Will Kyle Kuzma Play? Bucks Release Injury Report vs Mavericks

The Milwaukee Bucks will play the Dallas Mavericks for the second and final time this season. This time, the game will be in Milwaukee, and the Bucks will look to sweep the season series.

This will be the Bucks' 61st game of the season. They will be relatively healthy and looking for their 36th win.

The Bucks' star forward, Kyle Kuzma, is listed as probable for this match after appearing on the injury report.

Kuzma landed on the injury report due to a right ankle sprain, but it appears he is healthy enough to play in his 44th game of the season and his 12th game as a Buck.

The 29-year-old played in Tuesday's first leg of a back-to-back and was solid in his outing. He recorded 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field, 10 rebounds, and two assists over 33 minutes against the Hawks.
