The Milwaukee Bucks will be out for some revenge on Wednesday night when they take on the Indiana Pacers at the Fiserv Forum. The memory of their NBA In-Season Tournament semifinal loss to Tyrese Haliburton and Co. remains fresh in their minds, and you can be sure that the Bucks will want to avenge that heartbreaking defeat when they battle it out again on Wednesday.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Injury Report Vs. Pacers
The good news for the Bucks is that there aren’t any surprises on their injury report for Wednesday’s showdown. Jae Crowder (left adductor surgery) and Pat Connaughton (right ankle sprain) are both still out as they continue to nurse respective injuries.
Rookie Chris Livingston, who recently injured his ankle during his stint with the Wisconsin Herd of the NBA G League, won’t be available as well. Then again, given Coach Adrian Griffin’s tight rotation, Livingston probably would have gotten another healthy DNP if he were good to go.
As usual, the Bucks have also listed their two-way/G League players as out for Wednesday’s game. Marques Bolden, TyTy Washington Jr., and Lindell Wigginton all won’t be available.
Pat Connaughton Making Good Progress
The name to watch for the Bucks is Pat Connaughton. Wednesday will mark his sixth straight game on the sideline as he continues to work his way back from a sprained ankle.
However, Coach Griffin noted earlier this week that the 30-year-old swingman is getting close, and that he should be back in the mix sooner rather than later. The Bucks have a back-to-back set coming up this weekend against the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets, respectively, and Connaughton could be back for either one, if not both of those games.
