- Milwaukee Bucks guard downplays budding on-court beef with Tyrese Haliburton
The Milwaukee Bucks won 110-102 against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, marking their first victory of the 2026-27 campaign. For the first time in four tries, they closed out a game by getting the defensive stops they needed in the final frame.
Ryan Rollins was among the standout performers. The Toledo product was the Milwaukee Bucks' second-leading scorer with 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting, and he also tallied four assists in 32 minutes as a starter.

Ryan Rollins seems to have beef with Tyrese Haliburton. In a preseason game, Haliburton called Rollins a b***h after Rollins shoved Haliburton following Tyler Herro's three-point miss early in the first quarter. On Monday, the two guards kept chirping, although Rollins got the last laugh.
"I mean, it's not a one-on-one game. It's a five-on-five game, so it's just continuing to play the right way. If an opportunity presents itself where I can go back at him, then I will do it. But if not, I'm gonna try to play in the flow of the game," Rollins said. "I'm just not taking it too personal. At the end of the day, it's basketball. It's a competitive spirit that always needs to be there… It may turn into some other stuff, but it is what it is."

The Milwaukee Bucks hope to win their second consecutive game against the Houston Rockets, who are undefeated in their first four games this season. Despite the odds, Ryan Rollins believes they can put up a valiant stand against the Western Conference powerhouse on Wednesday.
"(It's) just building on what we did last game. We need to continue to find our identity for how we are successful on both ends on the court and just apply that to the next game. I mean, they are 4-0, but everybody going to end up losing at some point, I feel like," Rollins stated.
