Ekpe Udoh played just four minutes Thursday night due to a lingering Achilles injury.
Udoh 14 minutes in Game 2 and 21 minutes in Game 1 before being essentially sidelined for Game 3. The injury forced veteran big man Samuel Dalembert into action, but Dalembert struggled with foul trouble, which limited his minutes. Udoh should be active for Game 4, but it's unclear how much time he'll get. Regardless of who plays, neither should have much of an impact. Apr 27 - 1:32 PM

Date:
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) played on Friday, scoring eight points on 3-of-9 shooting with nine rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 24 minutes off the bench.

This is a somewhat promising line, but we haven't seen much of anything out of Udoh this year (or ever), so jumping on this performance during silly season is a bit of a stretch.
Apr 12 - 10:14 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) is expected to play on Friday.

He was probable on Thursday so this comes as expected. Udoh could see a few extra minutes immediately without Larry Sanders (back) in the lineup.
Apr 12 - 12:59 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) is probable to play against the Hawks on Friday.

Udoh was targeting Friday for his return, and he may be forced to playing extended minutes right away with Larry Sanders (back) questionable to play against the Hawks.
Apr 11 - 1:34 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Updating a previous item, Ekpe Udoh (ankle) is tentatively targeting a return on Friday against the Hawks.

Udoh will not play on Tuesday against the Heat or Wednesday against the Magic, but Jim Boylan said it's possible he'll rejoin the team later in the week. He remains day-to-day with a sprained ankle.
Apr 9 - 1:29 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) is not expected to play against the Heat on Tuesday.

Udoh didn't play on Saturday, either, but his absence shouldn't impact the landscape of fantasy leagues.
Apr 9 - 9:45 AM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh (sprained ankle) will not play vs. the Raptors on Saturday.

Udoh will be re-evaluated before the Bucks leave for their four-game road trip, beginning Tuesday vs. the Heat. If he doesn't join the team, expect a few more minutes for Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Samuel Dalembert.
Apr 6 - 7:36 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh recorded his first career double-double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks vs. OKC on Saturday.

He played 18 minutes and it's nice to see the big man get some burn, but he won't have reliable fantasy value while Larry Sanders and Ersan Ilyasova are healthy. If anyone is keeping track, Jim Boylan has dropped No. 14 pick John Henson from the rotation (four straight DNP-CDs), possibly a symptom of the Bucks gearing up for the playoffs.
Mar 30 - 11:24 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

The short-handed Bucks started Samuel Dalembert and Ekpe Udoh together on Sunday, and Udoh finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, one steal and four blocks.

He played 25 minutes but will go back to second-unit irrelevance the moment Larry Sanders and/or Ersan Ilyasova return to action.
Mar 10 - 11:48 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) had two points and three rebounds off the bench on Saturday.

The Bucks had Udoh listed as 'doubtful' until just before tip-off, but he seems fine. The end-of-bench big man shouldn't even be on fantasy radars.
Mar 3 - 12:16 AM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

Udoh sprained his left ankle during Wednesday's win in Houston. Samuel Dalembert might actually get into the game on Saturday after taking two straight DNP-CDs.
Mar 1 - 4:05 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh sprained his left ankle in Wednesday's game against the Rockets and will not return.

He plays just 17 minutes per game this year and takes just 3.5 shots per game, so he's really not part of the offense. He can be left on the wire in almost all leagues.
Feb 27 - 9:40 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh has assumed backup center duties behind Larry Sanders.

Udoh has played center while John Henson has seen minutes at power forward. Jim Boylan is beginning to put his stamp on the Bucks, but we like Henson's upside for fantasy owners over Udoh's for fantasy owners.
Jan 22 - 8:44 AM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh played 22 minutes off the bench and missed all five of his shots to finish with two points, six rebounds and a block on Tuesday.

Starting power forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute played 25 minutes and had 11 points and four rebounds, while rookie John Henson double-doubled in just 19 minutes off the bench. There is still a log jam of power forwards/centers in Milwaukee, and it remains to be seen how things will shake out. But starting center Larry Sanders and Henson were very good tonight, and look like the two best options out of this group, while Udoh should spend most of his time backing up Sanders.
Jan 8 - 11:43 PM
Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Bucks

Ekpe Udoh had eight points, eight rebounds and three blocks in 25 minutes on Wednesday.

This was an ugly game for the Bucks and Udoh got some run after playing 18 or fewer minutes in three of his last four games. Consider this a fluke, as it's impossible to predict the next time that Scott Skiles will give him this kind of run.
