Ryan Rollins notched 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Monday’s exhibition against the Timberwolves.

Rollins’ defensive aggression helped Milwaukee hold Minnesota’s reserves to 21 points in the third quarter. However, that also contributed to him fouling out in 14 minutes of play. Rollins averaged 2.6 fouls per game during his breakout 2025-26 season, so there should not be any concern coming out of Monday’s game. In fact, the biggest takeaway is that he started with Kevin Porter Jr. (seven points, three rebounds, and two assists) coming off the bench. The question is whether head coach Taylor Jenkins will stick with this lineup or give KPJ opportunities to make the starting point guard job his own. If Rollins starts, he’ll have the opportunity to show that last season wasn’t a fluke. - Raphielle Johnson
