Prince won't start in Saturday's game against the Wizards. Prince is absent from the starting five for the first time this season, yielding to Khris Middleton at the small forward slot. It's unclear if Middleton is ready to reclaim his full-time starting role or if the Bucks are looking for a splash of offense Saturday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) and Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined. Still, expect Prince to be heavily involved against Washington.

Taurean Prince Latest News
Coming off bench
Prince won't start in Saturday's game against the Wizards. Prince is absent from the starting five for the first time this season, yielding to Khris Middleton at the small forward slot. It's unclear if Middleton is ready to reclaim his full-time starting role or if the Bucks are looking for a splash of offense Saturday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) and Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined. Still, expect Prince to be heavily involved against Washington.
Quiet in tournament victory
Prince chipped in six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 win over the Thunder. Prince delivered a muted effort once again, continuing his modest start to the season. Despite shooting a career-best 51.6 percent from the three-point line, Prince is averaging just 7.8 points and 1.9 three-pointers per game. Although it appears he is locked in as a starter for the time being, his production typically tells another story.
Good to go
Prince (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports. As expected, Prince has been upgraded from probable to available. He played only nine minutes during Friday's loss to the Celtics before being ruled out due to the illness. However, he'd scored in double figures in four of his previous five appearances before that game, averaging 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25.5 minutes per game.
Likely to play Sunday vs. Brooklyn
Prince (illness) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Nets. Prince was forced to leave Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Celtics early due to an illness, but it appears as though he is on track to play Sunday. Prince had scored in double digits in five of the Bucks' six games prior to Friday's contest, and over that span he averaged 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 25.5 minutes per game.
Doesn't return Friday vs. Celtics
Prince (illness) did not return to Friday's 111-105 loss to the Celtics and finished with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one block over nine minutes. Prince came into Friday's contest as questionable due to an illness. He was able to suit up and was in the Bucks' starting lineup, but he did not return for the second half as Gary Trent entered the starting five for the final two quarters of the game. Prince will have one day's rest before the Bucks' next game against the Nets on Sunday.
Doubtful to return Friday
Prince is doubtful to return for the second half of Friday's game against the Celtics due to an illness, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Prince was under the weather heading into Friday's game, and while he played in the first half, it appears he is unlikely to return for the second half. If he's in fact done for the night, Prince will finish with zero points, two rebounds, one assist and one block over nine minutes. Gary Trent started for the Bucks in the second half due to Prince's illness.
Will play Friday vs. Boston
Prince (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics. Prince was listed as questionable for Friday's game due to a non-COVID illness, but the veteran forward will be available to play. He has scored in double digits in five of his last six games, and over that span he has averaged 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 25.5 minutes per game.
Downgraded to questionable Friday
Prince (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics. Prince has been downgraded from probable with right patella tendinopathy to questionable due to a non-COVID illness. If the 30-year-old forward is sidelined, Gary Trent and Andre Jackson are candidates for an increased role. Across his last five outings, Prince averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 65.0 percent from beyond the arc across 25.2 minutes per contest. Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to make his debut Friday, but he'll likely face heavy restrictions.
Probable for Friday
Prince (quadriceps) is probable for Friday's game against Boston. Prince played through his quadriceps injury Wednesday's 119-104 loss to the Pistons and put up 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal over 25 minutes. Prince has played and started in every game this season, and it appears that he will most likely play in Friday's game as well. However, in the event he misses time, expect Gary Trent and Andre Jackson to see extended minutes.
