The Milwaukee Bucks gave a surprising update on forward Tauren Prince.

The Milwaukee Bucks try to right the ship as they take on the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday in a cross-conference showdown. 

The Bucks are coming off a 130-91 loss to the Orlando Magic in their last contest, another uncompetitive game for the team. They've lost five of their last six with every loss coming by 18+ points. They are 4-6 in their last ten games. Sitting at 27-36, the Bucks are eleventh in the East, four games behind the Charlotte Hornets for the final Play-In spot. 

The Suns bested the Hornets in their last game, winning 111-99 for their second straight win. They have won four of their last five, and are 5-5 in their last ten. They are seventh in the West at 37-27, 1.5 games back of the Denver Nuggets for the sixth seed, and a whole five games up on the Los Angeles Clippers. 

This is the first of two meetings between the two teams. They will meet again on March 21.
