Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Closes season out of rotation
Rotowire
Rollins didn't play in Tuesday's Game 5 loss to the Pacers. He finished the regular season with averages of 6.2 points, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 14.6 minutes per game over 56 contests (19 starts).
Although Rollins played just 30 minutes across his three postseason appearances, he stepped up for Milwaukee late in the regular season while Damian Lillard (Achilles) was nursing a blood clot in his calf. Over his final 13 regular-season outings (11 starts), Rollins averaged 10.8 points, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 47.8 percent from deep. Rollins is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, although the Bucks could make it something of a priority to retain his services, with Lillard's 2025-26 campaign being in jeopardy.

Rotowire
Rollins is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to left shoulder injury management.
Despite dealing with a shoulder issue, Rollins is expected to suit up on Sunday. Since many of Milwaukee's regulars are set to sit out against Detroit, Rollins will likely receive an increased workload if he's upgraded to available.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Rollins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Rollins was initially listed as probable, but the third-year guard out of Toledo will be sidelined for Sunday's contest. With Rollins and Kevin Porter (wrist) both out, Jamaree Bouyea, Andre Jackson and Pat Connaughton should all see significant playing time in the Bucks' regular-season finale.
Rollins is starting against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
Rollins has returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the last game, meaning Kevin Porter is back in his regular second-unit role. Rollins is averaging 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in his previous 16 starts this season.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Hands out career-high 10 dimes
Rotowire
Rollins registered 14 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and four steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 victory over the Pelicans.
Rollins didn't have a good shooting performance since he converted on only 33.3 percent of his field goals, but he managed to shine as a playmaker with 10 assists off the bench. This was a career-high mark for the former Toledo standout, though it's uncertain if he'll return to the starting lineup while Damian Lillard (calf) is out. Kevin Porter started against the Pelicans and finished with 20 points (8-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Retreating to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Rollins won't start in Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Kevin Porter will draw the start at point guard, pushing Rollins to the bench. The 22-year-old guard has made five consecutive starts, averaging 13.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.6 three-pointers across 27.2 minutes per game. He has shot 64.1 percent from the field and 72.2 percent from downtown in that five-game span.
Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Sets new season-high scoring mark
Rotowire
Rollins notched 23 points (8-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 133-123 win over the Suns.
Rollins established his previous season-high scoring mark of 20 points in a loss to the Knicks on March 28, and he needed only two games to best that output. He's done a good job replacing Damian Lillard (calf) in the starting lineup, and while his fantasy upside will be tied to Lillard's time on the sidelines, there's no question Rollins has performed better than expected. He's started in six of Milwaukee's last seven games, averaging 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game in that span.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Scores season-high 20 points
Rotowire
Rollins had 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 116-107 loss to the Knicks.
Rollins returned to the starting lineup Friday and delivered an impressive outing, notching a new season-high mark in scoring and also posting decent numbers in the rebounds and assists categories. Don't expect Rollins to hover around the 20-point mark on a regular basis, but he should have an uptick in his upside as long as he remains in a starting role. He's scored in double digits in three of his last five outings, averaging 11.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game over that stretch.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Rollins is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Wednesday, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.

Rollins averaged 6.0 points, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 25.3 minutes per game across those three starts.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Three swipes in spot start
Rotowire
Rollins ended with 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block over 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 victory over the Lakers.
The 22-year-old point guard drew the spot start due to Damian Lillard (calf) being sidelined. Rollins struggled with efficiency, though he racked up a game-high mark in steals during the blowout victory. The third-year pro has received little playing time of late, and he is unlikely to be a major factor in the club's rotation whenever Lillard returns.
