| The Kings waived Lopez after acquiring him from the Bucks earlier Thursday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. The Scoop:The Kings acquired Lopez from the Bucks in exchange for cash considerations, but it's unsurprising to see Sacramento waiving him. Expect Lopez to try and sign with another franchise, but he'll likely be nothing more than a third-string center no matter where he lands. He appeared in 16 games for the Bucks this season, averaging just 4.1 minutes. Feb 9 5:53 ET - | ||||||||
| Sent to Kings, likely to be waived The Bucks are trading Lopez to Sacramento in exchange for cash considerations Thursday. The veteran big man is expected to be waived and become a free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Scoop: Lopez has received a minimal role for Milwaukee this season, averaging 1.1 points in 4.1 minutes across 16 appearances. If the veteran big man is released and clears waivers, he will likely look to join another franchise as a depth piece in the frontcourt. Feb 8 7:56 ET |
| Enters starting lineup Lopez will start Tuesday's game against the Suns. The Scoop: Bobby Portis will head back to the bench. Brook Lopez (personal) will miss his third straight game Tuesday, but it will be interesting to see how many minutes his brother, Robin, will see considering he's played a total of eight in his last two appearances.

| Held scoreless off bench Lopez recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in four minutes during Sunday's 123-108 loss to the Jazz. The Scoop: Lopez made his first start of the season Saturday against Dallas but played just four minutes. He retreated to the bench for the second half of the back-to-back set and didn't generate much production. The 35-year-old hasn't been a consistent part of the Bucks' rotation in recent weeks, even with his brother, Brook Lopez (personal) missing two straight games. Feb 5 4:08 ET |
| Making first start of season Lopez is part of the first unit for Saturday's game against the Mavericks. The Scoop: Lopez will take the place of his brother, Brook Lopez (personal), for his first start of the regular season. While he should certainly take on a sizeable workload, it's likely that Lopez won't receive full starter minutes with Bobby Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo expected to see action at the five spot.
