Contrary to other rumors from the past few days, Khris Middleton will not give his comeback in game 7 against the Boston Celtics. After an inner ligament injury in the left knee, the game comes too early for the Bucks star.
Middleton is listed as "out" at the official Injury Report of Bucks before the all -important game 7 against the Boston Celtics on Sunday evening (from 9.30 p.m. on dazn ). It is therefore clear that the 30-year-old will not run up.
Middleton had injured the Chicago Bulls in the first round of playoff and has so far missed the complete Conference Semifinals against the Celtics. Recently, however, rumors circulated that the co-star of Giannis Antetokounmpo could still celebrate his comeback in the series against Boston.
This was reported by Brian Windhorst (ESPN), who spoke of a certain optimism on the part of his sources regarding a Middleton comeback. However, according to Windhorst, the knee of the three-time all-star did not develop as hoped for. Even an assignment to the start of the East Finals, should Milwaukee prevail in game 7, is currently on the brink.
In the person of Middleton, who put on average 20.1 points and 5.4 assists in the regular season, the Bucks lacks an important playmaker and shot creator. But even without their second best player, the Bucks have a chance of the Conference Finals, which is mainly due to Giannis Antetocounmpo.
So far, the Greek Freak has been a spectacular star duel with Jayson Tatum, in the previous six games Antetocounmpo had 35.3 points, 13.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game - in game 6, however, the outstanding crime was 46 Just score the upper hand. "I'll just go out and play freely," announced the final MVP of the previous year. "Be fearless, play freely. We don't have to prove anything to anyone."
"So far, nobody has won two games in a row in this series," said Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer. "Now it's all about everything. You have to find a way to get this fourth victory and win the series. Every sports fan is looking forward to this game, this college feeling. If you lose, your season is over. If you win, you can continue. That is exciting. "
