More on this storyline

The fracture is on the base of the finger, between the joint and the knuckle and Khris Middleton said his teammate had some support on his hand by the end of the game. “We’re trying to figure out kind of who will see him next, what the next step is,” Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said. “Unfortunate, but I think we’re hopeful that he’ll be able to return. When that is, not exactly sure. But, so, we’ll see.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / February 11, 2022
