The Milwaukee Bucks received a significant boost ahead of their match against the Miami Heat on Tuesday when Khris Middleton was given the green light to play despite an Achilles injury. The three-time All-Star’s return was a welcome sight after he missed the previous game due to his injury.
Unfortunately, the Bucks suffered another setback during Tuesday’s game when Pat Connaughton sustained an injury, forcing him to exit the game in the first half.
Connaughton, a key player coming off the bench, left the game after 15 minutes of action due to a right ankle sprain. The team confirmed that he would not be returning for the rest of the game.
Finishing with seven points, including a three-pointer, one rebound, and an assist, Connaughton’s absence will be felt by the Bucks, especially as they are already without Jae Crowder due to a long-term injury.
The team will be closely monitoring Connaughton’s injury to determine the extent and potential length of his absence. In the meantime, more minutes may become available for other players, such as MarJon Beauchamp and rookie Andre Jackson Jr.
