Today the Bucks ushered in the second game of the series at home with the Bulls, and the Bucks finally lost to the Bulls 110-114 in the case of unanimous optimism, and the series was equalized to 1-1 by the opponent. Alphabet Coco scored 33 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists, and in this game, the Bucks' two cores were injured.
The first is Portis, in an attack at the end of the first quarter of the game, Portis was elbowed to the face by TT Thompson when he grabbed the rebound with TT Thompson, and the face injury bleeding returned to the locker room for treatment and dressing, and then never appeared. Portis played just six minutes in this game, scoring 2 points and 2 rebounds on 0-of-2 shooting.
As the core of the team's inner rotation, Portis's role in the Bucks is self-evident! He averaged 14.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists per game and 39.3 percent from three-point range! In G1, Portis had a comprehensive statistic of 10 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.
Middleton's injuries are more serious than Portis'. At 7 minutes and 33 seconds in the final quarter of the game, Middleton slipped during the breakthrough, then felt knee discomfort, after stretching there was no effect, and then chose to exit the court for treatment, the Bucks first said that Middleton was sore left knee.
But after the game, according to reporter Shams' revelations, Middleton suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in the knee and will undergo an MRI examination tomorrow. Medical expert Evan Jeffries said that if Middleton suffers a third-degree sprain, he will face season reimbursement, and the lightest sprain will need to be suspended for more than a week.
This season, Middleton averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, making him the second in charge of the team. If Middleton suffers a season reimbursement, then I am afraid that the Bucks' road to defending this season is hanging! Holliday said after the game: "We hope he can come back healthy as soon as possible, hope he can play and help the team win. ”
Playing in the playoffs is too important for the team's health. In the current playoff team, the Suns Booker has a hamstring strain, the Bucks Middleton has a knee strain, and injuries have also confused the championship competition this season.
