Bucks forward Khris Middleton will not be available for the entire second-round series between the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. According to Athletic’s Shams Charania, Middleton’s Grade 2 MCL sprain could see the former All-Star sidelined into the Eastern Conference Finals should the Bucks advance. This confirms previous reporting that Middleton may be out for several weeks.
He suffered the initial injury during a Game 2 loss against the Chicago Bulls on April 20, and was seen wearing a brace on the sidelines for the remainder of the series. In the regular season this year, Middleton scored 20.1 points per night along with 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Throw in a 37.3% clip, and Celtics fans know all too well how integral a role the former Texas A&M Aggie plays for this Bucks team.
