Bucks likely to benefit from Kawhi Leonard injury
Kawhi Leonard will miss “a period of weeks” after left‑knee swelling was revealed in an MRI that showed no structural damage, according to Shams Charania. The 35‑year‑old veteran, who only recently returned to the Raptors following the NBA’s Clippers salary‑cap investigation, is expected to sit out the Bucks‑Raptors NBA Cup matchup on November 6. While Toronto remains competitive without Leonard, the Bucks gain a tactical edge. Leonard, who has a history of right‑knee surgeries, expressed frustration on Twitter but remains focused on a quick return.
Bucks likely to benefit from injuries to Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Edwards
The Bucks stand to gain from recent injury news as Raptors star Kawhi Leonard is sidelined for “a period of weeks” with left‑knee swelling and Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards faces up to two months out after an arthroscopic right‑knee procedure. Leonard’s absence means he will miss the Bucks‑Raptors NBA Cup match on Nov. 6, while Edwards could be unavailable for Milwaukee’s two games against Minnesota on Nov. 2 and Dec. 23. Both injuries give Milwaukee a clearer path in those early‑season matchups.

Former NBA guard Jeff Teague tells Miami Heat star Giannis Antetokounmpo to adjust his ball‑dominant style if the team hopes to snap its 0‑4 start to the 2026‑27 season. On the “Club 520” podcast, Teague — who backed Antetokounmpo during Milwaukee’s 2021 title run — says the MVP’s approach hampers teammates, especially point guards, citing Jrue Holiday as the only guard who fit. He questions whether talents like Trae Young, Ja Morant or Damian Lillard could coexist with Giannis. Despite averaging 28.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and a triple‑double against Dallas, Antetokounmpo’s production hasn’t translated into wins as Coach Spoelstra tweaks the system.
NBA rumors: Nuggets, Kings named as suitors for recently cut Bucks guard
Free‑agent guard Kevin Porter Jr., waived by the Milwaukee Bucks before the 2026‑27 season, is drawing interest from the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings, according to NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer. The Bucks cut the 26‑year‑old after two seasons due to a crowded backcourt and roster limits; Denver had previously offered a trade that was declined. Porter, a 2019 first‑round pick who posted 17.4 points, 7.4 assists and 5.2 rebounds in 2025‑26 before a knee surgery limited him to 38 games, could help the Kings replace the injured Ben Simmons or give the Nuggets extra scoring alongside Jokic and Murray. Overseas offers exist, but a two‑way contract may delay a return.
