Khris Middleton Listed As Out For Game 7 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat May 14, 2022 11:22 pm

The Milwaukee Bucks have listed Khris Middleton as out for Game 7 of their second round series against the Boston Celtics. Game 7 will be played on Sunday afternoon in Boston.


Middleton is dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee. He was injured late in Game 2 of the Bucks first round series victory over the Chicago Bulls.


Without Middleton, Milwaukee's offense has struggled against Boston. The Bucks offensive rating against the Celtics has been just 104.8. That's down considerably from Milwaukee's third-best offensive rating of 115.1 during the regular season.

Huge loss, let’s we if Giannis can carry the Bucks without their 2nd or 3rd best player.

It will be interesting to see who wins game 7: the team without their clear second-best player or the team with aging Horford at center. If not for the homeground advantage, I would assume the team with Horford at center would win. With the homeground advantage, it's too close to call even with the Bucks may win in a blowout.
