Sun Nov 17 201300:57Ekpe Udoh amkes another start for Bucks
Ekpe Udoh started again for the Bucks on Saturday and had his first double-double of the season with 11 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks in a loss to the Thunder.
With Larry Drew refusing to start John Henson and Larry Sanders, Ersan Ilyasova and several other Bucks injured, Udoh could go on a run. But we simply don't trust him enough to tell you to pick him up and put him in your lineup. Keep an eye on him.

Fri Nov 15 201322:27Ekpe Udoh continues to stink in start
Ekpe Udoh was in foul trouble against the Pacers on Friday, finishing with two points and one board in 15 minutes.
Coach Larry Drew seems committed to starting him at power forward while Ersan Ilyasova is out, but fantasy owners shouldn't. He has almost no fantasy value.

Wed Nov 13 201318:36Ekpe Udoh listed as the starter at center
Ekpe Udoh is listed as the starter against the Magic on Wednesday.
That doesn't bode well for Zaza Pachulia. To be clear, the Bucks have listed guys at starter before and it's been incorrect, so don't shoot the messenger if this doesn't turn out to be true. John Henson looks like a nice play tonight against the Magic.

Thu Nov 7 201301:33Ekpe Udoh scores four points in return
Ekpe Udoh returned to action on Wednesday and had four points, five rebounds, two steals and a block after missing the start of the season after knee surgery.
Udoh was forced into some serious action tonight with Larry Sanders (thumb/personal) and Ersan Ilyasova (ankle) out, and he played well. But unless you're in an extremely deep league, we see no reason to pick him up at this point.

Wed Nov 6 201318:22Ekpe Udoh will be in the lineup on Wednesday
Ekpe Udoh (knee) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game.
It's just another player for coach Larry Drew to use in his rotation. Udoh won't likely be a big factor and is off the radar in just about every fantasy league. His knee issues have been a problem, so the team should manage him for the foreseeable future.

Wed Nov 6 201313:39Ekpe Udoh (knee) expected to play vs. Cavs
Ekpe Udoh (knee surgery) is expected to make his season debut for the Bucks on Wednesday.
He's been practicing for a few days without any issues but it's unclear how he fits into the Bucks' frontcourt when even Larry Sanders, who landed a $44 million extension this summer, is averaging 17 minutes per game.

Tue Nov 5 201314:31Ekpe Udoh (knee) practices again on Tuesday
Ekpe Udoh (knee) practiced on Tuesday without any setbacks.
He's been practicing for two days and could emerge as a bench contributor as soon as Wednesday's game vs. the Cavaliers. Fantasy owners should avoid him in light of his limited stats and uncertain role behind Larry Sanders, John Henson and Zaza Pachulia.

Mon Nov 4 201314:15Ekpe Udoh (knee surgery) returns to practice
Ekpe Udoh (knee surgery) returned to practice on Monday but he's questionable to suit up for the Bucks on Wednesday.
Udoh was targeting a return in December but appears to be well ahead of schedule. He won't be a fantasy asset and he muddies the Bucks' frontcourt even more, as he'll be vying for minutes with Larry Sanders, Zaza Pachulia, Ersan Ilyasova and John Henson.

Fri Oct 11 201318:34Ekpe Udoh (knee surgery) out 4-6 weeks
Ekpe Udoh had arthroscopic right knee surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks.
He's been held out of action in the preseason, but he's been dressed and on the bench sporting a brace on his right knee. Udoh has a bit of a chronic problem with his knees and it's hard to believe he was selected before Paul George in the 2010 NBA Draft. He's off the grid in fantasy leagues and the Bucks need some healthy bodies up front in a big way. John Henson and Larry Sanders should be busy while Ersan Ilyasova (ankle) is on the shelf.

Mon Oct 7 201317:26Ekpe Udoh (knee) questionable to play Tuesday
Ekpe Udoh (knee) practiced on Monday but is questionable to play in Tuesday's preseason opener.
The Bucks might play it safe with Udoh and Khris Middleton (ankle) on Tuesday but neither injury is serious. Evan at full strength Udoh has an uphill battle for minutes in a frontcourt featuring Larry Sanders, Zaza Pachulia, Ersan Ilyasova and John Henson.

Sat Oct 5 201317:12Udoh missed scrimmage for knee issue
Updating a previous item, Ekpe Udoh missed Saturday's scrimmage due to knee concerns.
The move was precautionary by the team and his injury is not considered serious. Udoh was in uniform and wearing a knee brace, so he should be back out there soon enough.

Sat Oct 5 201316:17Ekpe Udoh doesn't participate in scrimmage
Ekpe Udoh did not participate in Saturday's scrimmage.
There's no reason given, but he's had issues with his Achilles and also knee problems. Udoh was in uniform and wearing a brace on his right knee, so it appears to be minor. We'll pass along the reason why as soon as it's available. Continue to ignore him in fantasy leagues.

Sat Apr 27 201313:32Ekpe Udoh still dealing with Achilles injury
Ekpe Udoh played just four minutes Thursday night due to a lingering Achilles injury.
Udoh 14 minutes in Game 2 and 21 minutes in Game 1 before being essentially sidelined for Game 3. The injury forced veteran big man Samuel Dalembert into action, but Dalembert struggled with foul trouble, which limited his minutes. Udoh should be active for Game 4, but it's unclear how much time he'll get. Regardless of who plays, neither should have much of an impact.

Fri Apr 12 201322:14Udoh (ankle) plays on Friday vs. ATL
Ekpe Udoh (ankle) played on Friday, scoring eight points on 3-of-9 shooting with nine rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 24 minutes off the bench.
This is a somewhat promising line, but we haven't seen much of anything out of Udoh this year (or ever), so jumping on this performance during silly season is a bit of a stretch.

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) is expected to play on Friday.

Tue Apr 9 201313:29Ekpe Udoh targeting potential Friday return
Updating a previous item, Ekpe Udoh (ankle) is tentatively targeting a return on Friday against the Hawks.
Udoh will not play on Tuesday against the Heat and didn't travel for the game, but Jim Boylan said it's possible he'll rejoin the team later in the week. He remains day-to-day with a sprained ankle.

Ekpe Udoh (sprained ankle) will not play vs. the Raptors on Saturday.

Sat Mar 30 201323:24Ekpe Udoh notches first career double-double
Ekpe Udoh recorded his first career double-double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks vs. OKC on Saturday.
He played 18 minutes and it's nice to see the big man get some burn, but he won't have reliable fantasy value while Larry Sanders and Ersan Ilyasova are healthy. If anyone is keeping track, Jim Boylan has dropped No. 14 pick John Henson from the rotation (four straight DNP-CDs), possibly a symptom of the Bucks gearing up for the playoffs.
