The Milwaukee Bucks will be back in action on Monday night in their first game after their heartbreaking NBA In-Season Tournament semifinal loss to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. The Bucks have had a few days to let that loss sink in and it appears that they will be playing with a chip on their shoulder come Monday.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Injury Report Vs. Bulls
Milwaukee has already released its injury report for their upcoming Central Division clash against the Bulls, and Bucks fans will be glad to know that there aren’t any surprises.
Jae Crowder and Pat Connaughton, who have both been sidelined over the past several games, remain out for Monday’s contest. Rookie Chris Livingston is questionable to play with a left ankle sprain, although he hasn’t figured much in Coach Adrian Griffin’s rotation anyway.
The Bucks have also listed their NBA G League/two-way players as out against Chicago. Marques Bolden, TyTy Washington Jr., and Lindell Wigginton will all be unavailable.
Pat Connaughton Remains Out
While the Bucks gave Crowder a two-month recovery timetable since undergoing surgery on his left adductor last month, the status of Pat Connaughton remains up in the air.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though, given how Connaughton’s situation appears to be more fluid. His injury isn’t as bad as that of Crodwer, and it’s very much possible that the former will be back in action in the next week or so.
Until then, the likes of MarJon Beauchamp and Andre Jackson Jr. will continue to get more playing time amid Milwaukee’s injury woes.
