What happened: Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. will miss Sunday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. Trent was downgraded to out after initially carrying a questionable designation due to an illness.
Why it matters: The absence further thins Milwaukee's backcourt rotation as the team looks to climb out of an early-season hole. The Bucks sit 15th in the Eastern Conference with a 1-8 record through nine games in the 2026-27 season.
By the numbers: Trent has recorded 3.0 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game in 2026-27 through two games. Milwaukee is 1-8 through nine games this season and is on a five-game losing streak.
What to watch: Milwaukee looks to halt its five-game losing streak against Boston on Sunday night.
