Khris Middleton's Current Injury Status For Bucks-Pacers Game
Khris Middleton is on the injury report for Friday's game.
UPDATE: Khris Middleton is available.
On Friday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks will face off against the Indiana Pacers (in Indianapolis) for Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.
For the game, the Bucks could be without one of their best players, as 2021 NBA Champion Khris Middleton is on the injury report.
Middleton played 36 minutes in Game 2, and finished with 15 points, five rebounds and six assists while shooting 6/14 from the field and 1/3 from the three-point range.
VIa Jeremiah Johnson: "Just to remove any doubt, Giannis Antetokounmpo is now listed as OUT for the Bucks. Khris Middleton is still questionable (right ankle sprain)"
Middleton averaged 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per contest while shooting 49.3% from the field and 38.1% from the three-point range in 55 regular season games.
The Bucks are the third seed in the Eastern Conference and had a 49-33 record.
They are 18-22 in the 40 games they have played on the road away from Milwaukee.
Last season, the Bucks lost to the Miami Heat in the first round (in five games).
