Tue Feb 11 2014 | 18:53 | Ekpe Udoh iffy to play w/ sore knee, ankle |
Ekpe Udoh had his right knee examined on Tuesday, and he's also dealing with lingering soreness in his left ankle. |
He should be considered questionable to play in Wednesday's game vs. the Pelicans. With Larry Sanders (face) and John Henson (foot) already ruled out, there should be plenty of minutes available for Zaza Pachulia and Miroslav Raduljica regardless of whether Udoh is healthy enough to suit up. |

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. |
Udoh finally returned to action for 15 minutes on Monday night following an eight-game absence. He apparently came out of that too sore to go Wednesday. The only healthy bigs on the Bucks right now are Zaza Pachulia and Miroslav Raduljica. They had seven guys practice Tuesday. |

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) returned to action on Monday against the Celtics, playing 15 minutes with zero points, one rebound and one block. |
Udoh's career has been beset with injuries and it would take a major change of fortune for him to matter in fantasy leagues. |

Mon Feb 10 2014 | 18:36 | Ekpe Udoh back in the lineup for the Bucks |
Ekpe Udoh (ankle) will play against the Celtics on Monday night. |
He's been out of the lineup since Jan. 24 from his ankle sprain and the Bucks could certainly use him. Udoh's offensive game still hasn't come around in his age-26 season, but he could be able to get some blocks and boards for owners in deep leagues. |

Sat Feb 8 2014 | 19:14 | Ekpe Udoh still out of the lineup for Bucks |
Ekpe Udoh (ankle) will not play against the Rockets on Saturday night. |
He is more or less out indefinitely with his ankle sprain and has not played since Jan. 24. Udoh has been injured quite a bit in his career and can be ignored in almost all leagues. |

Mon Feb 3 2014 | 18:32 | Ekpe Udoh out again for Bucks |
Ekpe Udoh's sprained left ankle will keep him out of Monday's game. |
He didn't travel over the weekend and this should just mean a few more minutes for starter Larry Sanders, who should see heavy minutes with John Henson also out for the Bucks. |

Thu Jan 30 2014 | 14:33 | Ekpe Udoh (ankle) not traveling w/ Bucks |
Ekpe Udoh (sprained left ankle) is not traveling with the Bucks for their two road games on Friday and Saturday. |
Udoh has been out for the past week and he still has no return date. With Larry Sanders active and Zaza Pachulia (foot) inching closer to a return, there's no reason to think Udoh will surface with fantasy value in the near future. |

Wed Jan 29 2014 | 19:32 | Ekpe Udoh out again on Wednesday night |
Ekpe Udoh (ankle) will not play against the Suns on Wednesday. |
This will be his third game out of the lineup after getting a starting nod on Friday. Udoh has little value and is playing just 20.7 minutes per game on the season. |

Mon Jan 27 2014 | 18:31 | Ekpe Udoh out with an ankle injury vs. Clips |
Ekpe Udoh (ankle) will not play against the Clippers on Monday. |
His injury was actually spotted on camera during Friday's game, so there's nothing really beneath the surface like some of his teammates. Udoh has made 14 starts for the Bucks, but he doesn't have much fantasy value. |

Sat Jan 25 2014 | 19:05 | Ekpe Udoh won't play on Saturday night |
Ekpe Udoh (ankle) will not play against the Hawks on Saturday night. |
He did not return from his ankle sprain on Friday night and Larry Sanders started the second half in place of Udoh. Coach Larry Drew could go that route for his starting lineup, or he could slide Ersan Ilyasova back to power forward. Regardless, Udoh doesn't have much value and his absence doesn't really have much of a trickle-down effect to his teammates. |

Fri Jan 24 2014 | 20:40 | Ekpe Udoh suffers foot injury vs. Cavs |
Ekpe Udoh suffered a foot injury in the first half of Friday's game and went to the locker room. |
He was in the starting lineup for the second game in a row tonight and it's hard to imagine the Bucks bringing him back considering his injury history. |

Wed Jan 22 2014 | 23:59 | Ekpe Udoh starts, doesn't do much in win |
Ekpe Udoh started against the Pistons on Wednesday with four points, four boards and two assists in 24 minutes. |
The Bucks didn't have Larry Sanders (illness) tonight and coach Larry Drew wanted to go with a bigger lineup against the Pistons. Udoh can remain on the wire in fantasy leagues with Sanders only having a cold. |

Wed Jan 22 2014 | 18:29 | Ekpe Udoh will start against the Pistons |
Ekpe Udoh will start against the Pistons on Wednesday. |
The Bucks will go will with Brandon Knight, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ersan Ilysasova and John Henson in their 19th different starting lineup of the season. The Bucks almost never played Ilyasova at all last season, so it's interesting to see the how coach Larry Drew will juggle his lineup. In case you missed it, O.J. Mayo and Larry Sanders are out tonight with illnesses. |

Sat Dec 28 2013 | 01:06 | Ekpe Udoh doesn't play vs. BK |
Ekpe Udoh did not play against the Nets on Friday. |
He looks to be out of the rotation with Ersan Ilyasova and Larry Sanders back in the lineup. Udoh can essentially be cut across the board in fantasy leagues. |

Sun Dec 8 2013 | 00:02 | Ekpe Udoh scoreless w/ five fouls Saturday |
Ekpe Udoh nearly fouled out of Saturday's game in 26 minutes, finishing scoreless with two rebounds and one block for the short-handed Bucks. |
This typifies Udoh's lack of value, as he couldn't even scrape together a serviceable line with Zaza Pachulia (foot) unavailable and Ersan Ilyasova coming off the bench. The good news for Milwaukee is that his recent ankle injury hasn't prevented him from suiting up. |

Fri Dec 6 2013 | 22:56 | Udoh returns and plays 32 minutes vs. WAS |
Ekpe Udoh (ankle) returned to action and played 32 minutes in Friday's overtime win, scoring seven points on 3-of-5 shooting with six rebounds and one assist. |
Udoh did not have a steal or block and other than the minutes there isn't much to like here. As long as Ersan Ilyasova and John Henson are healthy, Udoh can be left alone in most formats. |

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) will not play in Friday's tilt vs. Washington. |
That's unfortunate for Udoh as he was playing fairly well. This will most likely propel Ersan Illyasova into the starting lineup. |

Tue Nov 26 2013 | 15:31 | Ekpe Udoh leaves practice w/ sore knee |
Ekpe Udoh left Tuesday's practice with a sore right knee. |
This is more concerning than your average soreness because he just returned from right knee surgery in early November. We'll pass along updates as they are made available -- if Udoh misses any time, Zaza Pachulia, John Henson and Ersan Ilyasova would pick up the slack. |
