Khris Middleton: Game 5| Game 4| Game 6| Coming back
Game 5:
The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics are playing Game 5 of their second-round playoff series on Wednesday evening, and for the game the Bucks remain without Khris Middleton due to a knee injury.
The star shooting guard got injured in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls, and has not played in any games so far in the second-round.
Game 4:
Last season, the Bucks won the title against the Phoenix Suns in six games, which was the first time in Giannis Antetokounmpo’s career that he won a title.
This season, they finished as the third seed in the Eastern Conference. As for the Celtics, they are the second seed in the east so they have a home court advantage.
Game 6:
Their series is currently tied up at 2-2, and each team has won one game at home and one game on the road.
The winner of the series will move on to the Eastern Conference Finals to face either the Miami Heat or the Philadelphia 76ers.
According to Dario Melendez of WISN 12 NEWS, there is a chance that Middleton could make a return as soon as Game 6.
Coming Back:
Booker checked out immediately; Middleton gave it a go for a few more possessions before exiting. Neither would return, unable to help their teams turn the tide in upset losses that evened their best-of-seven opening-round matchups.
Having conceded home-court advantage, the no. 1–seeded Suns and no. 3–seeded Bucks must now not only break back on the road, but do it with one of their best players on the shelf … and maybe not coming back any time soon.
