Rotowire
Crowder (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Crowder will sit out the first half of a back-to-back set Wednesday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action Thursday against Boston. Khris Middleton (knee) and Joe Ingles (knee) are both questionable, so Pat Connaughton could be in store for a major role if Middleton and/or Ingles joins Crowder on the sidelines.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Gets light minutes in return
Rotowire
Crowder (calf) played 12 minutes and logged two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in Monday's 126-117 win over the Pistons.
Crowder handled a light role off the bench in his return to action after missing the past five games with left calf soreness. Since joining the Bucks at the trade deadline, Crowder has averaged 18.6 minutes per game over his 11 appearances, so he isn't expected to see a major uptick in playing time even once he's further removed from the calf injury.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Scores 11 versus former team
Rotowire
Crowder supplied 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes off the bench Tuesday in the Bucks' 116-104 win over the Suns.
Playing in Phoenix for the first time since the Suns traded him to Milwaukee at the deadline, Crowder appeared to be comfortable in the familiar confines of the Footprint Center, with the three triples representing a new season-high total. Crowder has suited up in each of the Bucks' first 11 games out of the All-Star break and has played between 13 and 25 minutes in those contests. As a tertiary scorer for Milwaukee who doesn't contribute much in the way of defensive stats, Crowder likely won't warrant much attention in the majority of fantasy leagues unless his playing time picks up dramatically.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Lands on injury report
Rotowire
Crowder is probable for Thursday's game against the Nets due to right ankle soreness.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) and Jrue Holiday (neck) sidelined, Crowder popped for 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) during Tuesday's win over the Magic, but he appears to have tweaked his ankle as well. However, the issue doesn't seem serious and shouldn't prevent the veteran forward from suiting up. Either way, Antetokounmpo and Holiday are expected to return Thursday, so Crowder figures to have a reduced role versus Brooklyn.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Pops for 15 points off bench
Rotowire
Crowder posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 134-123 win over the Magic.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) and Jrue Holiday (neck) sidelined, Crowder stepped up on both ends of the court and submitted his best performance of the campaign. He scored in double figures for the first time, tied his season highs with five boards and two assists and recorded a tally in each defensive category for the first time since making his Bucks debut. Over seven appearances with Milwaukee, Crowder is averaging 6.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.1 minutes with 48/38/71 shooting splits.
