The Milwaukee Bucks are moving on to Round 2 of the NBA playoffs, but all-star forward Khris Middleton is seemingly still a long way off from returning to the court. Shams Charania reports that the team expects Middleton’s Grade 2 MCL sprain will keep him out of the entire second round and his status for the Eastern Conference Finals is also “in jeopardy.” Middleton left Game 2 against the Chicago Bulls with the injury and didn’t play in the remainder of that series. The Bucks eliminated the Bulls with a win in Game 5 Wednesday and will face the Boston Celtics in the next round. The 30-year-old averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists during the season. “Obviously Khris is one of the best players on the team,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said . “If he’s not able to be with us, it going to be a tremendous loss for us.” More from Sportsnet Report: Bucks’ Khris Middleton expected to miss Celtics series with MCL sprain Source: Healthy Lifestyle
