Mirotic was acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans at the trade deadline and has averaged 11.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in 14 appearances with the Bucks. He suffered the injury in the third quarter of Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Mirotic had just replaced injured guard Malcolm Brogdon in the starting lineup. Brogdon is expected to shelved for up to six weeks with a foot injury.

"Defended by Moritz Wagner, Mirotic swung his arms up and drew a foul while shooting a three-pointer," Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

The Bucks (53-18) enter Wednesday's game at Cleveland with the league's best record.
