Milwaukee Bucks ‘don’t expect’ guard George Hill to return soon from abdominal strain
“We do not count on him within the brief time period,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer mentioned Wednesday earlier than Recreation 2.
Budenholzer mentioned this subject is unrelated to the neck harm that brought on Hill to overlook 17 video games earlier within the season. Hill mentioned after coming back from that harm that he’d been coping with a partial tear between the sixth and seventh thoracic vertebra in his backbone.
In line with Budenholzer, the most recent harm stems from one thing that occurred within the Bucks’ April 8 sport at Detroit. Hill hasn’t performed since.
“We’ll see how he progresses over the following I might say handful of days or extra,” Budenholzer mentioned.
Hill, 35, performed 54 video games throughout the common season and averaged 6.2 factors, 2.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 23.2 minutes.
Jevon Carter stuffed Hill’s spot within the rotation the Bucks’ 93-86 Recreation 1 victory and scored three factors in 10 minutes.
