Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe will miss two weeks due to a right fibula evulsion fracture.
Bledsoe reportedly had an MRI after suffering the injury on Friday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies and test results confirmed the injury, per David Aldridge of The Athletic.

On the season, Bledsoe is averaging 15.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists while shooting 47.7 percent from the field. It will be interesting how the Bucks will cover up for this production over these next two weeks.
Milwaukee doesn't have much depth at point guard, though they have veteran George Hill to take his place in the starting unit. After Hill, the Bucks could slot sophomore Donte Divincenzo into a point guard role.
Last season, Milwaukee still had Malcolm Brogdon at the helm to give them more options at point. However, they lost the former Rookie of the Year in free agency this past summer.
Bledsoe's injury could put Milwaukee's 18-game winning streak in serious jeopardy.
They face the Dallas Mavericks next, but they will probably be without Luka Doncic as the reigning Rookie of the Year recently suffered an ankle sprain earlier on Saturday.
After the Mavs, the Bucks will take on the surging Los Angeles Lakers at home in what could be a potential NBA Finals matchup. The Purple and gold are on a winning streak of their own, rattling off six straight victories (13 consecutive on the road).
Nevertheless, the Bucks still have the reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo at full strength. As long as the Greek Freak is healthy, Milwaukee has a chance to win against anyone in the league.
