Ousmane Dieng Heads Into Year 4 With Bucks, Clean Injury Report
newsroom · 31 min agoOusmane Dieng opens the 2026-27 season with Milwaukee off the injury report entirely. The 23-year-old forward is coming off a 57-game season with the Bucks last year, and no trade or free agency rumors are attached to his name right now. With the opener still ahead, the numbers on the table are all from last season.
Roster Spot
Ousmane Dieng is back with Milwaukee for his fourth NBA season, wearing No. 21. He's a 6-9, 185-pound forward, still just 23 years old. Dieng's background traces to the New Zealand Breakers before he reached the league, and that international path shows in his frame: long and light for a forward, built more like a wing. Four seasons in, he's not a rookie anymore, but he's also not established as an every-night rotation piece based on the minutes he's logged. The Bucks carry him as a depth forward heading into 2026-27, with his role this season still to be defined once games start counting.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, Dieng played 57 games for Milwaukee, averaging 19.3 minutes a night. He put up 7.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, with 0.4 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.3 turnovers. His shooting: 42.2% from the field, 34.1% from three, 71.1% from the line, for a true shooting mark of 51.6%. His usage rate sat at 19.2%, and his plus-minus was minus-3.7 on the season. Those are bench-level counting stats, but the 34.1% three-point mark and 71.1% free-throw number suggest a floor as a shooter that Milwaukee can build a bigger role around if his minutes climb this season.
Injury Report
Dieng is not on the injury report right now. There's no injury history logged for him either. Heading into a new season, that's a clean bill of health, no lingering issue from last year and nothing new cropping up in camp or the preseason window. For a bench forward trying to carve out more minutes, staying off the injury report matters: availability is often the first step toward a bigger role, and right now Dieng has that going for him. Nothing here suggests any change to his conditioning or health status as Milwaukee approaches the start of the 2026-27 schedule.
What's On Record
The only game logged for Dieng is October 21 against Houston, a Milwaukee win. In that game he didn't see the floor: zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists in 0.0 minutes, with a plus-minus of 0.0. That's a DNP entry, not a performance to read into. It doesn't tell us anything about his form or role beyond confirming he was with the team on that date. Fans looking for a sense of how he's playing right now will have to wait for the 2026-27 season to actually get underway and produce real minutes and box scores to evaluate.
No Rumors Attached
There's nothing on the rumor mill involving Ousmane Dieng at the moment. No trade buzz, no free agency speculation, nothing reported by any outlet tied to his name right now. That's consistent with a player who's under contract and slotted into Milwaukee's depth chart without any outside noise complicating the picture. The bigger storyline for Dieng heading into the season opener is simple: whether his 19.3 minutes and modest per-game numbers from last season grow into something more, or whether he stays in the same bench role he held for Milwaukee in 2025-26.
