2025 Fantasy Outlook
Following another modest season in Orlando, Anthony landed in Milwaukee during the offseason, after being waived by the Grizzlies following a trade. Anthony played a total of 67 games during the 2024-25 season, averaging 9.4 points to go with 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in just 18.4 minutes per contest. With Damian Lillard back in Portland, the point guard spot in Milwaukee is seemingly there for the taking. While Kevin Porter appears to have the inside running, he is by no means a proven commodity. Anthony should see close to 20 minutes per game out of the gate, with a chance he plays more if Porter fails to be productive. Ryan Rollins is also in the mix, making the point guard discussion a tricky one when it comes to who will emerge victorious. Read Past Outlooks

Dealing with undisclosed issue
Anthony (undisclosed) sat out the contact portion of Thursday's practice, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Anthony was not dealing with any injuries at the start of training camp, and when coach Doc Rivers was asked what the guard was battling, he said he had "no idea." Rivers did describe Anthony's absence as a precautionary measure, but for now, he can be considered questionable for Monday's preseason game against Miami.

2020
Anthony set a new career high with 81 regular-season games played in 2023-24, surpassing his previous high of 65 appearances during his sophomore season in 2021-22. Amidst the increased games played, Anthony saw reductions in his minutes, points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers made per game compared to the previous two seasons. Nonetheless, he remained a critical piece for the Magic's young core as they put together an impressive season, finishing fifth place in the East. Anthony averaged the team's sixth-most minutes per game and led the team in games played during the 2023-24 campaign. His regular season was highlighted by several impressive performances, including a season-high 30 points on 9-for-16 shooting in a home win over the Hornets in November. Anthony had 21 outings with more than 15 points. He also had two double-doubles with points and rebounds and logged more than five assists on 12 occasions. Regular season and playoffs combined, Anthony recorded 21 games with zero turnovers, averaging 9.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.9 minutes over those games. Looking ahead, he is set to remain the leader of the second unit, playing a key bench role for the emerging squad. Anthony has room for improvement with his shooting efficiency but has shown he can help close games when hot from the field.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Standing out in camp
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that Anthony was "fantastic" to open training camp, according to Bucks Breakdown.
ANALYSIS
Rivers also noted that Anthony "lived in the paint" for the entire opening practice. Milwaukee's head coach clearly likes what he's seen so far, and it seems like Anthony has the edge to win the backup point guard role behind Kevin Porter for the time being. Anthony saw his minutes get reduced in Orlando last season, but it's not unrealistic to think he can earn more than 20 minutes per game with his new team.
