Santos is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

With Moses Moody (wrist) returning from a 10-game absence, Santos will slide to the bench after averaging 15.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.6 minutes over that span. In 36 games as a reserve this season, Santos is averaging 4.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.3 minutes per contest.

Walter will start Monday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Brandon Ingram (heel) was ruled out right before tipoff, opening the door for Walter to enter the first unit for just the second time since the All-Star break. As a starter this season (11 games), he has averaged 7.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 22.6 minutes per contest.

Ingram is out for Monday's game against the Jazz due to right heel inflammation, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Ingram was announced in the starting lineup, but the team provided an update shortly before tipoff that he wouldn't be available to play Monday evening. Ja'Kobe Walter will draw the start in Ingram's place.

Moody (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Moody will shed his questionable tag and return from a 10-game absence due to a right wrist sprain. It wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction, though his return will still leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Will Richard and Gary Payton.

Porzingis (back) has been cleared to play Monday against Dallas.

Porzingis was added to the injury report as probable leading up to tipoff, and he's since been given the green light to take the court. He'll be a candidate to start Monday, with both Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) out.

The Bucks signed Nance to a multi-year standard contract Monday.

Nance joined the Bucks on a two-year, two-way pact last February. Since he had been active for 49 of his allotted 50 games at the NBA level as a two-way player, the Bucks elected to convert him to a standard contract to ensure he would be available for the rest of the season. In a corresponding move, Milwaukee has waived Cam Thomas. Over 37 appearances so far in 2025-26, Nance has averaged 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per contest.

Melton (hand) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Melton was previously listed as probable due to a left hand contusion and will suit up in Monday's road contest as expected. Since entering the starting lineup Feb. 5, the 27-year-old is averaging 15.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 16 appearances.

Thomas was waived by the Bucks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Thomas' time in Milwaukee will come to a close after appearing in 18 games since agreeing to a one-year deal in early February. He averaged 10.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 16.6 minutes over this 18-game stretch. This move frees up space for the Bucks to convert Pete Nance to a standard contract.

Mamukelashvili is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Utah, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Jakob Poeltl (back) inactive, Mamukelashvili will step into the starting lineup at center. In 12 starts this season, the big man is averaging 15.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Konchar is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Konchar will slide into the starting lineup with Cody Williams (shoulder) sidelined Monday. Konchar hasn't provided much of a scoring punch of late, but he's managed to contribute on the glass and as a defender, averaging 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals over his last five showings.
