Defending champions and runners-up last year are now in a dangerous situation.
The first is the bucks.
After mrI, Middleton, one of the cores, was diagnosed with a sprain of the medial collateral ligament of the left knee. Medical expert Evan Jeffries has said that first-degree sprains are absent for 1-2 weeks, second-degree sprains require a break of 3-6 weeks, and the most serious third-degree sprains are directly reimbursed for the playoffs and seasons.
And the Bucks are given at least 3-4 weeks out, so it should be a second-degree sprain. If the Bucks keep going, Middleton can come back. But in the first round against the Bulls, he couldn't continue to play, that's for sure.
However, according to Durant and Thick Brow, who have suffered the same injuries this season, 3-4 weeks may be less. The first two have been on a six-week hiatus after injury, so Middleton's return should be the Earliest Time to the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals.
In the last game, Caruso defended, and the others dribbled the letters, and this strategy was implemented very well. Now without Middleton, the number two scorer, the Bulls dare to pack more letter brothers.
In addition, Middleton's strong shooting ability is also one of the solutions for the Bucks when the game is scorched. And his blocking of the letters is a big weapon.
Simply put, without Middleton, the Bucks are in danger.
Then there's the sun
Booker's hamstring injury was determined to be a first-degree strain. Based on the average recovery time for league players from a first-degree hamstring strain, Booker could need a 2-3 week break. In this case, he was reimbursed for the first round of the playoffs. However, without Booker, the Suns are 8-6 this season and encounter a much lower level of danger than the Bucks.
