On April 28, Beijing time, the latest injury of Bucks core star Middleton was exposed, according to the famous shams, Middleton's left MCL injury is a level 2 sprain, it is expected that he will miss the entire second round of the series against the Celtics, and there are potential risks in the comeback of the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the April 21 Bucks and Bulls series G2, Middleton unfortunately suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and after an MRI, the Bucks officially announced that he would be reviewed in two weeks; now that Middleton has been recuperating for a week, the reputation has been exposed to the reimbursement of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Bucks' road to defending the title has become more difficult.
Medical expert Evan Jeffries tweeted that Middleton's grade 2 sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, the second round of reimbursement, the general rehabilitation cycle is 4-8 weeks, and both Thick Brow and Durant have been suspended for 6 weeks this season due to such injuries.
So far in the playoffs this year, Middleton has only played 2 games, averaging 14.5 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 36 minutes per game; the Bucks eliminated the Bulls 4-1, and this year's regular season, the Bucks and Celtics have met four times, and the two teams have drawn 2-2; but the Bucks' defense road has been damaged by Middleton, when will he return to the game? The second round of reimbursement is determined, I am afraid that it will not be able to return until the Eastern Conference Finals, as for whether the Bucks can pass the second round? We can only wait and see.
