Khris Middleton sidelined 3-4 weeks with knee injury


The road to becoming a champion can become a lot more difficult for Milwaukee Bucks.

Star Bucks Kris Middleton left with injury in the fourth quarter of game 2 with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday and did not return. Middleton injured his left knee when he slipped while performing a twist.

After the game the Bucks lost 114-110, Middleton was diagnosed with an MCL sprain. Dario Melendez of WISN12 News in Milwaukee shared some more bad news about Middleton on Thursday, report that he could be out for three to four weeks because of the injury.

If that timetable holds true for Middleton, it’s very bad news for the Bucks. Middleton, the three-time All-Star, is hugely important on both ends for Milwaukee. Even in the first series against only Chicago, which looks like Middleton could miss the rest, the Bucks are currently facing a tough climb, having just lost their home advantage.

Milwaukee head coach Mike Budenholzer had to create this series. But figuring out how to close the Middleton-sized hole in his squad (perhaps with a combination of Pat Connaughton, Grayson Allen and others) could be Budenholzer’s toughest task yet.
