Connaughton (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Wednesday's 122-106 win over the Bulls. Connaughton appears to have lost his spot in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation, as the veteran wing has now failed to get off the bench in both of the Bucks' last two games. Taurean Prince, Gary Trent, AJ Green and Andre Jackson are currently serving as the Bucks' primary options on the wing, and Connaughton's path to playing time will only become more blocked once Khris Middleton (ankles) is ready to make his NBA debut. Connaughton shot just 35.5 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range while averaging 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.6 minutes over the Bucks' first 13 games of the season before dropping out of the rotation.

Pat Connaughton Latest News
Drops out of rotation
Connaughton (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Wednesday's 122-106 win over the Bulls. Connaughton appears to have lost his spot in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation, as the veteran wing has now failed to get off the bench in both of the Bucks' last two games. Taurean Prince, Gary Trent, AJ Green and Andre Jackson are currently serving as the Bucks' primary options on the wing, and Connaughton's path to playing time will only become more blocked once Khris Middleton (ankles) is ready to make his NBA debut. Connaughton shot just 35.5 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range while averaging 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.6 minutes over the Bucks' first 13 games of the season before dropping out of the rotation.
Good to go vs. Cleveland
Connaughton (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. Connaughton was hobbled by a left adductor strain during the Bucks' loss to the Cavaliers on Saturday, during which he went scoreless over 10 minutes. It won't hold him out of action, however, as he'll be available off the Bucks' bench Monday.
Probable for Monday
Connaughton is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left adductor strain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Connaughton was held scoreless for the first time this season during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, so while he's expected to play through the issue, it may impact his effectiveness. In his first five appearances of the season, Connaughton averaged 4.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 17.2 minutes per game.
Leads Milwaukee's bench in scoring
Connaughton closed with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 15 minutes during Monday's 119-108 loss to Boston. The 31-year-old led the bench in scoring with five points, though the entirety of the Milwaukee bench was outscored 28-19 by Payton Pritchard alone. Connaughton has received fairly consistent playing time off the bench four games into the regular season, but his 15 minutes against the Celtics marked his lowest total yet. In those four appearances, the veteran guard has shot just 7-for-20 from the field, including 4-for-14 from deep.
Retreats to bench
Connaughton isn't starting Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Connaughton drew a spot start in Sunday's preseason opener, but he'll head back to the bench with Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest) and Gary Trent (elbow) returning to play. Connaughton should see plenty of looks Thursday night as he prepares to handle a bench role in the upcoming 2024-25 campaign.
Enters starting lineup
Connaughton will start Sunday's preseason game against the Pistons. Connaughton will get the start due to Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest) and Khris Middleton (ankle) being sidelined. Connaughton will likely serve as a quality role player for Milwaukee again this year come the regular season.
Will come off bench
Connaughton will return to a reserve role in Friday's matchup with the Raptors. After back-to-back starts due to injuries to the Bucks' regular starters, Connaughton is returning to the bench. He has averaged 5.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 21.4 minutes this season.
Enters first unit
Connaughton will start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. Connaughton comes as a primary beneficiary of Damian Lillard (groin), Patrick Beverley (ankle) and Khris Middleton (ankle) all sitting out Wednesday. Connaughton will make his third start of the campaign and has averaged 10.5 points, 7.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game with the first unit in 2023-24.
Leads bench in scoring Tuesday
Connaughton chipped in 15 points (4-11 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-113 loss to Washington. Tuesday's contest marked the first time since March 8 that Connaughton scored 15 points or more in a game. He saw extended playing time with Damian Lillard (personal) ruled out before the game and Patrick Beverley exiting in the third quarter after spraining his right ankle. If Lillard and Beverly are unable to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, expect Connaughton and AJ Green to see extended playing time.
