The Milwaukee Bucks closed their pass to the second round last night where they will face the Boston Celtics. However, happiness was not complete for Bucks fans. As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPNMiddleton’s medial collateral ligament sprain is not progressing as expected and has jeopardized his participation in the tie once morest Boston.
“You will get a reassessment 14 days following your injury, which is next week. But I was informed that the injury is expected to keep him out longer. The Bucks may have to go through another series if they want Middleton back this season.”
This is a serious blow to Milwaukee’s aspirations. This just means the injury is serious and the Bucks star might be in dry dock for an extended period of time. Giannis Antetokounmpo has proven himself to help the Bucks eliminate the Chicago Bulls without suffering. However, the challenge of doing the same with the Celtics seems too ambitious.
Those from Boston reach the tie following sweeping the Brooklyn Nets, standing out among the group of favorites for the title. The absence of Middleton, if confirmed, might lead the Celtics to a tie from which we might see the future champion of the Eastern Conference come out. This season the Bucks player has averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Figures that show the capital importance of him in the Bucks rotation.
The relevance of Middleton’s loss will multiply once morest the Celtics, a franchise once morest which he is used to leaving great performances. In his last nine games once morest Boston from 2019-22, Middleton averaged 20.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists. Without him, the Bucks have to go with a more starring version of Giannis Antetokounmpo if they want to eliminate the fittest team of all. playoffs.
