Charania noted that Prince had an MRI last week. It is unknown when he will return to the lineup. Taurean Prince played in the first eight games of the 2025-26 season for Milwaukee. He averaged 21.1 minutes per game. Although he wasn’t a starter this season, Prince was a valuable depth piece for Doc Rivers. Milwaukee will be without his services for the foreseeable future.
Taurean Prince missed Milwaukee’s last two games due to a neck injury. Other role players will be asked to step up and replace Prince’s production. Bobby Portis, Amir Coffey and Kyle Kuzma could see extended playing time while Prince is away. Kuzma is already averaging 24.3 minutes per game. Doc Rivers will have to adjust his rotation while Prince misses time. Milwaukee is on the road Monday night to take on the Dallas Mavericks.
