Milwaukee Bucks Reveals Injury Report Amid Indiana Pacers Rematch…

Milwaukee Bucks’ Pursuit of Redemption Against Indiana Pacers and Injury Update.

The Milwaukee Bucks are poised for redemption as they face off against the Indiana Pacers at the Fiserv Forum, aiming to erase the lingering memory of their NBA In-Season Tournament semifinal loss to Tyrese Haliburton and his teammates. The desire to avenge that heart-wrenching defeat is palpable as they prepare for their rematch on Wednesday.

In terms of injuries, the Bucks’ report for the upcoming showdown brings both reassurance and concern. The absence of Jae Crowder, recovering from left adductor surgery, and Pat Connaughton, dealing with a right ankle sprain, continues.

Additionally, rookie Chris Livingston, who sustained an ankle injury with the Wisconsin Herd in the NBA G League, remains unavailable. Given Coach Adrian Griffin’s strategic rotations, it is likely Livingston would have had limited playing time even if he were fit.

The Bucks also confirm that their two-way and G League players, namely Marques Bolden, TyTy Washington Jr., and Lindell Wigginton, won’t be participating in Wednesday’s game.

A key development to monitor is the progress of Pat Connaughton, who is set to miss his sixth consecutive game due to a sprained ankle. Despite the setback, Coach Griffin has expressed optimism about Connaughton’s recovery, hinting that the 30-year-old swingman is nearing a return. There is anticipation that Connaughton might rejoin the lineup in the upcoming back-to-back games against the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets over the weekend.
