Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton hasn’t played in the first six games of the Celtics-Bucks second-round series. It appears he’ll miss the seventh and final game of the series, too.
Milwaukee doesn’t seem to be optimistic that Middleton will be available for Game 7, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
“Earlier this week, the folks I was talking to were giving me some optimism about Middleton playing this weekend, but that has not happened. That has not developed,” Windhorst said on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.” “And now I would say there’s pessimism about Sunday, and frankly, I have been told that even if the Bucks advance to the conference finals, there’d be pessimism he’d be ready to start.
