Donte DiVincenzo Uncertain To Suit Up Versus Phoenix - NBA News | Fantasy Basketball

Injury Status Marring Bucks Following All-Star Break

With the NBA's All-Star break mercifully coming to an end, the second half of the season is fast approaching. Unfortunately for the Milwaukee Bucks, they face an uncertain future with guard Donte DiVincenzo, as his status remains up in the air heading into their next game against the Phoenix Suns.

Bucks' Guard Set to Undergo Evaluation

DiVincenzo suffered a left hamstring injury in the Bucks' loss to the Golden State Warriors on Jan. 31, forcing him to miss the team's final game before the All-Star break against the Brooklyn Nets. Since then, he has been undergoing treatment and rehabilitation, and is set to be re-evaluated this week.

Bucks Not Rushing DiVincenzo's Return

The Bucks are taking a cautious approach with DiVincenzo's recovery, as they are well aware of his importance to the team. DiVincenzo has emerged as a key contributor for Milwaukee this season, averaging 10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. His defense has also been a major asset for the Bucks, as he is one of their best perimeter defenders.

What If DiVincenzo Can't Suit Up?

If DiVincenzo is unable to suit up against the Suns, it will be a major blow to the Bucks. The team is already without Khris Middleton, who is still recovering from a sprained MCL. With DiVincenzo out, the Bucks would be without two of their top three scorers.

If DiVincenzo is unable to play, the Bucks will likely turn to Wesley Matthews or Jevon Carter to fill his void in the starting lineup. Both players have been solid contributors for Milwaukee this season, but neither provides the same level of production as DiVincenzo.

Conclusion

The Bucks are hoping that DiVincenzo will be able to suit up against the Suns, but they are prepared to be without him if necessary. The team is confident that they have enough depth to overcome his absence, but DiVincenzo's presence would certainly be a major boost.
