Mike Budenholzer, coach of the Milwaukee Bucks has ruled Khris Middleton out versus the Utah Jazz. Middleton came down with an illness.
Budenholzer said this when talking about Middletons illness,
“I’m assuming non-COVID,”
If Middleton did come down with COVID-19, it would be a tough blow for the Bucks. Budenholzer says he doesn't think it is, and the Bucks are hoping he's right.
Milwaukee has dealt with injuries to most of their team to start the season. Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez, Donte DiVincenzo, Bobby Portis, and others have all missed most of the games this season due to injuries. The Bucks are 3-3, but that record can be attributed to injuries.
They take on the 4-1 Jazz tonight in Milwaukee. The Bucks have lost two in a row and without Khris and Jrue it looks like they might lose a third stragith. The defending champions need to get healthy. They have new pieces they added in the off-season and they need to get repetition in together.
The Bucks suffered losses to the Minnesota Timberwolves and the San Antonio Spurs. Utah is one of the best teams in basketball and not having three starters isn't going to be an easy task for the Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to have to give everything he has for them to win this one.
