The Bucks beat the Bulls pretty easily in the first round of the playoffs, leaving the Chicagoans with just one game. In this unique defeat, Milwaukee also lost Khris Middleton, released for a sprained left knee. With the internal lateral ligament affected, the Bucks winger was to be reassessed two weeks later on May 4. But, the semi-final once morest the Celtics begins this Sunday, which means that the faithful lieutenant of Giannis, will miss at least the first two games of the series. If his absence once morest Chicago has not penalized the defending champions, it should be felt more once morest the Celtics, boiling hot.
According to the insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Middleton’s return might take longer than expected. The date of May 4 is only one step before the gradual resumption of training and it might be that the All Star completely misses this semi-final. Bad news for Bucks fans, as their winger had 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists last season. For his part, the player trusts the other members of the team to take over, as he did very well. Graysson Allen once morest the Bulls:
We did it last year as a team. When Giannis fell in the Eastern Conference final, everyone rallied together and played a major role. So I expect nothing less. I feel like the guys are ready to come in and play. They know right now is the time to win or we go home.
