Ryan (undisclosed) posted seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 22 minutes during Friday's 119-86 Summer League loss to the Heat.
After sitting out two of Milwaukee's three California Classic game Summer League contests, Ryan returned to the floor Friday and pulled down a team-high eight boards.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Ryan (undisclosed) didn't play in Sunday's 89-69 California Classic Summer League loss to the Nets.
After posting 13 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) across 18 minutes in Saturday's 97-83 California Classic Summer League win over Warriors Blue, Ryan sat out the second leg of a back-to-back-to-back set. He should be back in action Monday against the Kings.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Records 13 points in SL victory
Rotowire
Ryan finished with 13 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) across 18 minutes in Saturday's 97-83 California Classic Summer League win over Warriors Blue.
Ryan had 13 points, though he struggled shooting the ball while failing to contribute in other statistical areas. The 27-year-old played relatively well in 11 regular-season games with Milwaukee in 2025-26, averaging 14.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals on 45.8 percent shooting from downtown over 24.6 minutes. Ryan may not see routine playing time for the Bucks in 2026-27. However, he might have an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role off the bench.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Leads with 22 points in finale
Rotowire
Ryan contributed 22 points (8-20 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to Philadelphia.
Although Ryan's shot was slightly off, his 20 shot attempts and agile assist total earned him the first double-double of his NBA career. The UNC rookie has performed quite well since moving to the parent club last month, and he made the most of his two starting opportunities with averages of 25.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over the two-game span. The Bucks will experience a major shake-up from top to bottom in the offseason, and Ryan will likely be part of a youth-based rebuild.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Puts up career-high 28 points
Rotowire
Ryan amassed 28 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 125-108 win over the Nets.
Making his first career start, Ryan dropped a career-high 28 points Friday. While the two-way player failed to make the team back during training camp in the fall, Ryan linked back up with the Bucks in February after a strong stint with the Wisconsin Herd and is certainly beginning to show some promise at the NBA level. Over his last six contests, Ryan has averaged 19.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 32.1 minutes per game.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Making first start of season
Rotowire
Ryan will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Nets.
With the Bucks severely shorthanded down the final stretch of the regular season, Ryan has earned a promotion to the first unit. The sharpshooter has been a silly-season standout, averaging 31.8 minutes over his past five appearances and scoring at least 14 points in four of those contests.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Drops 16 points in loss
Rotowire
Ryan accumulated 16 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one block across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 loss to the Pistons.
Ryan continues to flash some offensive upside, having now scored at least 14 points in four of his past five games. He certainly fits the mould as a silly-season winner, providing fantasy managers with a viable scoring option. Assuming Milwaukee continues to prioritize anything but winning, expect Ryan to play out the season in a meaningful role.

Rotowire
Ryan registered 21 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and five steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 win over Memphis.
Ryan put together a strong display off the bench for his second game of the season with at least 21 points. Over his last three games, he's been hot with 19.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers on 62.1 percent shooting from the field.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Goes for 25 points vs. HOU
Rotowire
Ryan ended with 25 points (9-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 loss to the Rockets.
With most of Milwaukee's regulars taking a night off, Ryan provided a huge spark off the bench for a second straight appearance, as he had 13 points across 20 minutes in the loss to the Clippers on March 29. Ryan can be a decent scoring weapon as a reserve, but if that role doesn't change, his fantasy appeal will remain limited to being a streaming, matchup-based alternative in deep leagues.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Provides spark off bench
Rotowire
Ryan totaled 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Clippers.
With Ryan Rollins (hip), Kevin Porter (knee), Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Bobby Portis (wrist) and Myles Turner (knee) all sidelined, the Bucks were left with eight active players Sunday and summoned Ryan from the G League's Wisconsin Herd to soak up some playing time. The two-way player provided a scoring punch off the bench, but he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn once some or all of the injured players return.

Bucks' Cormac Ryan: Signs two-way deal with Bucks
Rotowire
The Bucks signed Ryan to a two-way contract Thursday.
Ryan was invited to training camp with the Bucks this past fall before being cut from the final roster, later linking up with the G League's Wisconsin Herd. The sharpshooter can now bounce back and forth between the NBA club and the Herd as needed. Through 29 G League appearances, Ryan is averaging 20.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.2 minutes per game while shooting 42.3 percent from three-point land.

Rotowire
The Bucks waived Ryan on Monday.
The Bucks included Ryan on their training camp group initially, but the team is beginning to trim down their roster ahead of the regular season.

He played 37 games for the Blue, averaging 12.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 41.8 percent from the field and 38.4 percent from three-point range.
