NBA Injuries: Brook Lopez's Injury Status For The Timberwolves-Bucks Game On Wednesday
The Milwaukee Bucks will be without one of their most important players when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday evening in Wisconsin.
Brook Lopez has been ruled out for the game, and his status can be seen in a tweet that is embedded below from the team's Twitter account.
Lopez played in the first game of the season when the Bucks crushed the Brooklyn Nets 127-104.
However, he has missed the last three games (four after Wednesday night) with his back injury.
In his only game of the season he scored eight points, grabbed five rebounds and got one steal and three blocks.
As a shooter he spreads the floor for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and on defense he is the team's best rim protector.
On Wednesday night they will miss their center, because they are going up against a team with elite offensive in weapons in D'Angelo Russell, Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and Malik Beasley.
The Bucks are 2-1 without Lopez this season.
