Milwaukee Bucks injury report: Khris Middleton out tonight vs. Kings. Starters, TV channel, odds
Bucks react to blowout loss to Knicks at Madison Square Garden
Milwaukee Bucks stars Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton react to blowout loss to Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 12.
The Milwaukee Bucks try to bounce back tonight vs. the Sacramento Kings following a disappointing 34-point loss to New York on Sunday.
The Bucks (20-17) have won three of four and are in a dogfight in the middle of the Eastern Conference as they begin the day two games behind the Knicks in the loss column for the No. 3 seed but are behind Orlando (23-18) and Indiana (22-18) in the playoff standings.
The Magic, led by Milwaukee native and head coach Jamahl Mosley, are in town tomorrow night.
Sacramento fired head coach Mike Brown on Dec. 27 when they were 13-18 and under interim head coach Doug Christie the Kings have seven in a row and are 20-19 overall.
Is Giannis playing?
He is probable to play vs. the Kings. He has been managing pain in his right knee since training camp but has yet to miss a game with the issue.
Khris Middleton ruled out of Kings game
First, Khris Middleton was pushed back to the bench and now the team is taking him out of back-to-back situations. Middleton played 12 straight games from Dec. 6-Jan. 4, including a back-to-back set on Dec. 20-21.
But on Jan. 8 he was moved to the bench because of his continued minute restriction and issues surrounding his complete return from offseason ankle surgeries.
And he was immediately ruled out of Tuesday night’s game against the Kings on Monday, presumably to make sure he’s ready to play in a more important Eastern Conference game against Orlando on Wednesday night.
In a Bucks win over the Magic on Jan. 10 in Florida, Middleton scored 11 points and had four assists in just under 23 minutes of play.
