Ryan Rollins seeks to regain starting role for Bucks after benching

Summary

After a slow start to the season, Ryan Rollins was benched by Milwaukee Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins following a 112-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rollins, who had started 67 of 74 games last season, has seen his shooting percentages drop significantly. This season, he is averaging only 11 points with a poor shooting percentage of 26.3% from three-point range. Jenkins opted to start rookie Brayden Burries, who offers a different style of play. Rollins's ability to recover his shooting touch is critical for his prospects of returning to the starting lineup and contributing effectively to the team.
