A lot will be at stake in Tuesday’s NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinal matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks. The winners of this knockout game will face either the Boston Celtics or the Indiana Pacers in the semifinals and will be one step closer to becoming the first-ever IST champions.
Knicks’ Injury Report for Quarterfinal Matchup
The good news for the Knicks is that they will be at full strength (relatively) against the Bucks. The injury report for Tuesday’s showdown has been released, and there are no significant names on the list for New York.
Evan Fournier and DaQuan Jeffries are both listed as questionable to play, but neither of them has had much playing time anyway. Charlie Brown Jr., Jalyen Martin, and Jacob Toppin have all been listed as available, but again, none of these three move the needle for the Knicks.
Barring any unforeseen injuries within the next 24 hours, the Knicks should come in full force against Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Bucks Shorthanded Vs. Knicks
The same cannot be said for the Bucks, though. Jae Crowder remains out after undergoing surgery, while Pat Connaughton will miss his third straight game due to an ankle sprain. Rookie Andre Jackson Jr. is questionable to play with a back problem, and he too is in danger of sitting out his second consecutive contest.
The silver lining here is that all of Milwaukee’s stars will be available on Tuesday night and it goes without saying that we will be in for a show.
