Coach Jason Kidd said before the Milwaukee Bucks' game Wednesday night he had to find more playing time for second-year point guard Tyler Ennis.
Early foul trouble for starter Giannis Antetokounmpo helped get Ennis a 14-minute stint in the first half, and the former Syracuse player wound up with eight points and five assists in a season-high 26 minutes during Milwaukee's 114-108 victory over the Miami Heat.
"It felt good. I've been kind of waiting for my moment all season," Ennis said. "I figured with Juice (O.J. Mayo) out and (Jerryd) Bayless moving to the starting lineup that I'd have a chance to get out there today.
