Brayden Burries remains day-to-day, and the latest injury report adds that he will not play Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets due to a coach's decision. He is still available in principle for Wednesday's preseason game against the Bulls, with no return timeline announced.
What happened
Burries is day-to-day, per the Wednesday, Oct. 14, 7:56 p.m. ET injury report, the same status he carried into the week. The report adds a new detail: Burries will not play Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets due to a coach's decision, according to Justin Garcia of the Milwaukee Bucks Radio Network. The previous entry, from Sunday, Oct. 11, also listed him day-to-day under a coach's decision designation. No specific issue or body part is attached to either entry, and the Bucks have not announced an expected return.
What it means for the Bucks
Milwaukee hosts the Bulls on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. ET, with the 2026-27 regular season still ahead and the Bucks at 0-0. Burries has no season lines on the books, so sitting out Sunday against the Hornets is about preseason reps rather than a gap in his own numbers. In the backcourt, Kevin Porter Jr. (33.2 minutes, 17.4 points) and Ryan Rollins (32.1 minutes, 17.3 points) have logged the heaviest guard minutes, with AJ Green (29.1 minutes, 10.4 points) and Cormac Ryan (24.6 minutes, 14.3 points) also rotation regulars. There is no record to cite with or without him since no regular-season games have been played yet.
What to watch
Watch for the next injury report update as Milwaukee's preseason schedule continues, including whether Burries' day-to-day status changes before or after Sunday's game against the Hornets. No expected return date has been announced. The Bucks play the Bulls on Wednesday, Oct. 14 before turning to Sunday's matchup against Charlotte.
