3 years agoMilwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) was able to take part in Thursday's practice. However, Lopez remains "a ways" off from a return to the court, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer. Lopez has been sidelined basically all season long. He underwent back surgery in December and will hopefully return in time for the playoffs. Although, it's unlikely Lopez returns in time to play many regular season games. Bobby Portis should remain the starting center and carry plenty of fantasy value. Serge Ibaka will back him up, but won't be anything more than a deep league option.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
