Khris Middleton expected to miss next Bucks series

If the Milwaukee Bucks want to keep their NBA Finals hopes alive and get past the Boston Celtics, they'll need to do so without a key contributor. That would be veteran Khris Middleton.

Per a report, Middleton suffered an MCL sprain and it's going to sideline him for the entire series against the Celtics. This is a big blow for the team.

The left MCL injury of Bucks All-Star Khris Middleton is a Grade 2 sprain and he is expected to miss the entire second-round series vs. Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The recovery of Grade 2 MCL places a potential Conference Finals in jeopardy for him as well.

The Bucks have dreams of repeating as champs, but the journey has just gotten a bit tougher for them. For Boston, they've got the confidence to record a big series win here, especially after they just swept the Brooklyn Nets.
