Eric Nehm: Budenholzer: “Brook is going to start contact and 5-on-5 scrimmaging, which really doesn’t happen much this time of year and so he hadn’t had any of that yet. So he will now start having some scrimmage and contact and we’ll organize that. It’s another good positive step for him.” -via Twitter @eric_nehm / March 4, 2022
Jim Owczarski: Brook Lopez gets in some post practice work. #Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer maintained the center is a ways away from a full return, but the center is making progress. pic.twitter.com/Hd3by3lpTC -via Twitter @JimOwczarski / February 25, 2022
From the moment Lopez elected to undergo surgery, the team held out hope the 7-foot defensive linchpin could return to action this season. It’s a belief the 33-year-old holds in his massive hands as well. “It’s been great,” he said of his return to the road before the Bucks’ 131-107 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night at the Footprint Center. “The process and situation I guess are unfortunate, but our team of guys, Andrew (Small), ‘Wiz’ (Michael Davie), Scotty (Faust), Troy (Flanagan), everyone, they’ve done a good job of giving me a program and we’ve stuck to it, worked with it, and it’s been successful. So we’re in a good place right now.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / February 11, 2022
