Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (knee) has no timetable for his return to action, and he's doubtful to play in the Bucks' season opener.

Mbah a Moute is loosely targeting a return in November, and we should know more after he visits with doctors in the coming weeks. He said he needs to rebuild the muscles around his surgically-repaired knee, adding, "My right quad definitely has a ways to go to catch up to the left." As noted by Gery Woelfel, without Mbah a Moute the Bucks may field one of the league's worst defensive starting lineups -- Brandon Jennings, Monta Ellis, Tobias Harris and Ersan Ilyasova, with Samuel Dalembert cleaning up whatever he can.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (knee) is now targeting a return in November.

He had been hoping to play in the season opener, but he's coming off right patella tendon surgery and will take as much time as he needs to avoid aggravating the knee. His absence clears a few more minutes for SFs Tobias Harris and Mike Dunleavy.

"I feel good. The knee is getting better," Mbah a Moute said. "I'm right on track to be back for the beginning of the season. I'm just excited to be healthy again." Mbah a Moute, who will turn 26 years old on September 9th, underwent surgery to repair his right patella tendon in May and has been rehabbing to make it back after knee problems plagued him all of last season. He is a defensive stopper for the Bucks and won't be fantasy relevant this season.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (knee) will have "cleanup" surgery next week.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (knee) will not play on Friday against the Bobcats, and Shaun Livingston will start in his place.

Mbah a Moute has been dealing with this knee injury all season and a game off against the Bobcats makes total sense. Livingston isn't a big producer when given the minutes, but if you're in a deeper league he's worth some consideration as a spot-starter. The real winners of the Bucks' absences tonight are Mike Dunleavy and Ekpe Udoh.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute started for Carlos Delfino (groin) on Friday, scoring eight points on 4-of-4 shooting with three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 23 minutes.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute started for ailing Carlos Delfino (groin) and hit 6-of-7 shots for 12 points, five rebounds and two steals in a win over the Hawks.

He could continue to start, as Delfino's injury could keep him out for several games. But his offense leaves plenty to be desired, making Mbah a Moute a pretty risky fantasy starter going forward. Especially once Ersan Ilyasova is back from his back spasms.

Ersan Ilyasova was back in action tonight, while Carlos Delfino and Mike Dunleavy played very well. As long as those three are healthy, it's hard to imagine Mbah a Moute having much value. Drop him if you picked him up after Friday's explosion.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute drew a start in place of a red-hot Ersan Ilyasova (flu) on Friday and blew up for a career-high 22 points to go along with a season-high 17 rebounds in an easy win at Golden State.

He also had three steals and a block in 33 minutes, but he should return to mediocrity once Ilyasova is back. Having said that, Scott Skiles won't forget Mbah a Moute's effort tonight, which could hurt Ilyasova's minutes going forward.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had 12 points, 13 rebounds and two steals off the bench in Wednesday's win.

He'd played a total of eight minutes over his last five games due to a right knee injury, but is finally getting healthy again. We're not expecting much with Ersan Ilyasova playing so well, but Scott Skiles has been known to change his mind before. Just keep an eye on Mbah a Moute going forward.
