Normally, it’s not good news when the face of the NBA doesn’t even make the playoffs. When LeBron James’s Los Angeles Lakers failed to advance to the postseason, many thought the product would suffer. Instead, these playoffs have been full of drama and raised the question of whether one of the players starring in this postseason will one day assume James’s mantle.
The Milwaukee Bucks were rallying in the fourth quarter of Game 2 of their first-round series against the Chicago Bulls when a driving lane opened up for forward Khris Middleton.
The value of Khris Middleton was evident in the Bucks’ Game 2 loss to the Celtics. Boston’s defense kept Giannis Antetokounmpo in check with limited help — Grant Williams and Al Horford were spectacular — allowing the other defenders to stay home on shooters and take away good looks. (It wasn’t that simple, but that’s the basic idea.)
Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a triple double with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists to power the defending champion Bucks over Boston 101-89 in an NBA playoff series opener Sunday.
Boston vs. Milwaukee has been the most anticipated second-round series in the NBA — the defending champions against the hottest team over the season’s final months. Two elite defenses trying to slow down some of the game’s best offensive players. A showdown that could determine who came out of the East — and maybe the next NBA champion.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain of his MCL and is expected to miss the entire second-round series against the Boston Celtics, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Charania adds that the recovery time for a Grade 2 sprain puts his status for a potential Conference Finals return in jeopardy as well.
The Bucks are finally entering the playoffs.
MILWAUKEE — The Bucks lost forward Khris Middleton to a sprained MCL and responded with three consecutive victories over the Chicago Bulls, advancing to the second round of the NBA playoffs with a 116-100 win in Game 5 on Wednesday.
