Milwaukee Bucks Receive Huge Injury Update On Jae Crowder – January 3
The Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the top teams in the NBA so far this season. Led by the superstar duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, nothing would constitute a successful season unless it ends with a championship.
While the superstar duo of Antetokounmpo and Lillard is one of the best in the NBA, they won’t be able to win a title on their own. Every superstar-led team has to receive consistent production from their role players as well. Thankfully, the Bucks have a solid supporting cast.
Over the past couple of weeks, there have been rumblings that the Bucks could look to make a move or two ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Among the names that have been linked are Andrew Wiggins, Delon Wright, Tyus Jones, and more. However, a big addition is currently already on the roster.
Milwaukee Bucks Receive Major Jae Crowder Injury Update
Earlier this season, Crowder went down with a left adductor and abdominal tear against the Orlando Magic. He has missed every game since. It seems like his recovery is progressing well.
According to Bucks’ head coach Adrian Griffin, Crowder is on his way to full recovery and is working to get back on the court.

Crowder would be a big addition by himself. Even without pulling off a trade, the Bucks would take a step forward with him back on the court.
He has been a great defensive piece for the Bucks since joining last season. So far this season, he has played in just nine games, starting in two of those appearances. In those outings, he has averaged 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, while shooting 51.6 percent from the three-point line.
Being able to get his defense and three-point shooting back on the court is a must for the Milwaukee Bucks. Hopefully, he is able to make his return sooner rather than later. This is a great update to hear for Bucks fans though.

Drone video shows dug‑up yard at former Michael Lock home
Drone video shows a dug‑up yard at a Milwaukee home once owned by Michael Lock, following a police search for possible homicide victims.
Milwaukee police on Monday, April 20, began digging up a home once owned by notorious Milwaukee drug dealer Michael Lock.
The dig marks another chapter in Lock’s long criminal history in Milwaukee, which has included convictions for homicide, drug dealing, kidnapping, torture and running a prostitution ring.
As of 6 p.m., April 20, police had partially dug up the concrete driveway and yard in Lock’s former home. Lock has been convicted of murders of other drug dealers whose bodies were found under concrete slabs at a different home he owned.
As the dig continues, here’s what to know about Lock:
Who is Michael Lock?
Lock was the head of a murderous criminal organization known as the “Body Snatchers” and one of the leading criminal operators in Milwaukee until his 2007 arrest.
Over the course of a decade, Lock’s organization sold large volumes of cocaine, tortured and killed other dealers, prostituted women across the Midwest and ran a mortgage fraud scheme.
A jury convicted Lock in July 2008 in the homicides of two drug dealers in 1999 and 2000, whose remains were found in 2005 under concrete slabs in the backyard of a home once owned by Lock at 4900 W. Fiebrantz Ave. He has also been found guilty of running a prostitution ring, various kidnapping and drug dealing charges and mortgage fraud.
Where is Michael Lock now?
Lock is is serving multiple terms of life in prison at Waupun Correctional Institution without the chance of parole.
Where are Milwaukee police digging on April 20?
Milwaukee police confirmed they are executing a search warrant at the home on 4343 N. 15th St. in Milwaukee’s north side. City tax records show the property is owned by Shalanda Roberts, formerly Shalanda Lock, Michael Lock’s former wife.
Why are police digging up the yard of Lock’s former home?
There has long been suspicion on the part of law enforcement that there are additional bodies buried under the yard. In 2011, police dug another Milwaukee yard looking for remains.
In that warrant 15 years ago, investigators said at least four victims are buried somewhere in Milwaukee. Before that, police had dug a half-dozen other yards. Police have found no remains in the other digs.
Who lives at the property now?
It is unclear if anyone currently lives at the North 15th Street property. Shalanda Roberts told the Journal Sentinel she owns the property where police are digging, but it is a rental and she lives out of state now.
She said she has no information on the dig and has not spoken to her former husband in years.
Read the Journal Sentinel’s past coverage on Michael Lock
The Journal Sentinel documented the case against Lock in a five-part investigative series, “The Preacher’s Mob,” published in 2009.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
