Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton won't be available for Milwaukee against Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City on Monday night, the Bucks' second game in two days.

According to The Athletic, the Bucks could be making a move soon for Kyle Kuzma in a deal that would send Khris Middleton and draft capital to the Wizards. Kuzma would help the Bucks with their scoring issues. When he is motivated, he is a top-shelf scorer at the wing position. Getting rid of Middleton would be an added bonus as well.

With the turnaround they’ve had in 2024-25, Milwaukee is being active on the trade market. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis are available for trade. Windhorst noted that the Bucks want an “impact player” in return. Will Milwaukee get a trade done before the deadline on February 6?

As the Milwaukee Bucks approach the NBA Trade Deadline their two most reliable vets, and biggest trade chips, are moving in different directions.

The Bucks have been active this trade season, sources said, with Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton all expected to be available in potential moves to bring back an impact player.
