Kyle Kuzma experienced a unique moment during his return to Washington as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. In a recent game against the Wizards, Kuzma reflected on the surreal experience of interacting with former teammates after being traded just weeks ago.

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis didn't hold back in his response to his former Khris Middleton 's trade to the Washington Wizards. The Bucks traded Middleton to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma before the NBA trade deadline.

When the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Kyle Kuzma, they were expecting to get a really good offensive player. They know that he can really score the ball when he is engaged. He wasn't really engaged while he was with the Washington Wizards earlier this year.

The Bucks have won three consecutive games since the All-Star break and four overall, and Kuzma has played an important part in each.

Forward Bobby Portis has been suspended 25 games by the NBA for violating the league's anti-drug protocol - How will the Milwaukee Bucks replace his production?

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers had very high praise for new big man Jericho Sims, acquired at the trade deadline from the New York Knicks.

Kyle Kuzma somehow became the most important deadline addition by playing an important role in defending Kawhi Leonard during Thursday's game.

Bobby Portis turned into a bigger part of the team while he was out. Now, Portis will be out for a while after receiving a suspension for a banned substance. He will miss the next 25 games because of the suspension.

The Bucks will not appeal the drug suspension. They will let Portis take the suspension and welcome him back once he has served his punishment. Bucks coach Doc Rivers revealed why they won't be appealing the suspension, and his reasoning makes sense.

Wizards: NBA-worst Washington stayed competitive despite woeful shooting nights by Kyshawn George (1 of 11) and Jordan Poole (3 of 11). With Milwaukee clinging to a one-point lead, Brook Lopez drew a foul call with 38.5 seconds left and made both free throws to make it 104-101.
