Bucks take a hit with forward Khris Middleton out rest of the series

It wasn’t the type of news one former Texas A&M Aggie wanted to hear about a fellow former Aggie, but that didn’t change the mindset for the Bulls moving forward.

Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton will miss the remainder of the first-round playoff series with the Bulls, suffering a sprained left MCL in Wednesday’s Bucks loss. That means gone from the starting lineup was a 20-point scorer this season, but also a key piece in last year’s run to the NBA Championship, including a Game 4 in which Middleton dropped 40 points against the Phoenix Suns.

“You never like to see guys get hurt, especially Khris,’’ Bulls guard Alex Caruso said of the injury.
