The Milwaukee Bucks currently trail the Charlotte Hornets 60-51 at halftime of their game at Fiserv Forum. Wisconsin native Kon Knueppel has been one of the biggest stories of the game thus far, with 17 points and two assists in the first half.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, still playing on a minutes restriction due to the calf injury he suffered last month, has 14 points, five rebounds, and two assists in just 14 minutes played. He has also made all six of his free throw attempts.
But one of the brightest spots on what has been a rather frustrating game for Milwaukee thus far has been the play of Ryan Rollins, who hit a major career milestone early in the contest.

Early in the first quarter, Rollins scored his 1,000th career point. And while that may not seem like such a high number compared to others and considering he is already in his fourth NBA season, the fact remains that he is having, by far, the best year of his career and most of his points have come this season.
Entering the 2025-26 season, Rollins had just 416 career points. This year alone he has 584 and counting. He is also averaging career highs in points per game (17.0), rebounds per game (4.2), and assists per game (5.8).
And on top of all of that, he is shooting nearly 41% from the three-point line and is among the league leaders in deflections on defense.
