Brayden Burries is day-to-day and will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, a coach's decision according to the Bucks' injury report. The guard is out of the mix for Milwaukee's trip to Charlotte, with no record yet on the books to measure his impact.
What happened
Brayden Burries is day-to-day and will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, listed on the report as a coach's decision. The report, issued for Sun, Oct. 11, 7:00 p.m. ET, carries no previous status for Burries. Justin Garcia of the Milwaukee Bucks Radio Network reports that Burries will sit out Sunday's game against Charlotte on a coach's decision. No further detail accompanies the move on the official report.
What it means for the Bucks
Milwaukee visits Charlotte for Sunday's 7:00 p.m. ET preseason game, and Burries will not be part of the backcourt mix. His season averages are not yet available since the 2026-27 schedule has not begun. In the minutes the Bucks have logged so far, Kevin Porter Jr. (33.2 minutes, 17.4 points) and Ryan Rollins (32.1 minutes, 17.3 points) have carried the heaviest backcourt loads, with AJ Green (29.1 minutes, 10.4 points) also in the rotation. Giannis Antetokounmpo (28.9 minutes, 27.6 points) and Myles Turner (26.9 minutes, 11.9 points) remain the frontcourt anchors. Milwaukee is 0-0, with the 2026-27 season not yet underway, so there is no record to measure with or without Burries.
What to watch
The Bucks list Burries as day-to-day, with the official report setting an expected return date of Oct. 14. No further timeline beyond that date is announced. The next injury report will show whether that target holds as Milwaukee continues through the rest of its preseason schedule before the regular season opens.
