Gary Trent Jr. (illness) questionable Sunday

While Trent will be available for Tuesday’s game, he isn’t guaranteed to see action. He’s appeared in just two games this season and has been a DNP-CD for seven.

Trent has appeared in just two games this season, picking up seven DNP-CDs. Sunday’s game will be the first he’s missed this season for health reasons.

Trent Jr. finished his second season in Milwaukee with averages of 21.2 minutes, 8.1 points and 0.5 steals while shooting 36% from deep. All of those numbers represent the lowest marks since his rookie campaign, and the NBA will investigate whether the Bucks circumvented the salary cap by offering GTJ a handshake deal to sign for the minimum last season with the promise of a big payday.

After playing on the veteran’s minimum each of the last two seasons, Trent is now the fourth-highest-paid player on the Bucks roster. His numbers took a significant hit in 2024-25, with the guard’s scoring average (8.1) being the lowest since his rookie season. However, that did not sway the Bucks from paying Trent handsomely as the franchise moves on from the Giannis Antetokounmpo era. Given the price tag, he should figure prominently in the team’s plans next season, which raises Trent’s fantasy ceiling.

Trent Jr., an eight-year veteran, is coming off his least productive NBA season since he was a rookie. Still, he came close to averaging double figures in points as a part-time starter while shooting a solid 36.0 percent from beyond the arc. He has never offered much more from a fantasy standpoint than the aforementioned scoring and three-point shooting, so there’s no reason to expect him to provide much fantasy value as his production and playing time continue to decline. Yet, he could serve as a solid role player on the wing for a team looking for floor spacing and perimeter defense.

Rollins and Trent will end the season on the sidelines, as both are dealing with injuries. AJ Green and Cormac Ryan served as the starting backcourt in Friday’s win over the Nets, and both recorded career-high point totals. They’ll be worth streaming in active fantasy leagues, especially with Green being two three-pointers away from the Bucks’ single-season record.

Trent played 19 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons, and he missed all eight of his three-point attempts. His absence on Friday should free up additional minutes for Andre Jackson Jr., who played just six minutes in Detroit.

Milwaukee will be down a number of key players tonight, but Rollins and Trent Jr. will be available to handle their typical roles in the Bucks’ backcourt.

This will be a third straight absence for GTJ, and while his starting spot has been filled by Kyle Kuzma, he will be sidelined as well. Taurean Prince and Cormac Ryan should take on extra minutes, with one of them filling the open starting spot.

Trent will miss a second straight game after injuring his hip during Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets. Kyle Kuzma started Friday’s loss to the Celtics and should remain in that role. While not the most dependable option in category leagues, the Bucks’ many injuries make Kuzma worth the risk.
