Khris Middleton has already been ruled out for tonight’s game against the #Cavs – he was probable last night in New Orleans.
Rodney Hood, however, is doubtful for the #Bucks with a right Achilles contusion. – 3:19 PM

Jrue has been exceptionally aggressive and might get 30 shots up at this rate, with Giannis and Middleton both DNPs. He’s 10/20 on FGs in his 25 mins. Jones has bothered him on a couple plays, scrapping for the ball and getting a steal/deflection, but Holiday in the paint a ton – 9:34 PM

Pacers outscored 25-5 over the first 10 minutes of the 4th quarter, lose in Milwaukee (no Giannis, Middleton, Lopez, DiVincenzo, Ojeleye) 114-99.
Disappointing showing on the front end of a b2b. Sabonis led them with 16-14-5.
Up next: vs Pistons on Thurs. – 10:10 PM

Eric Nehm: Bucks have submitted their injury report for tonight’s game vs. Cavaliers. (1/2 tweets) OUT (health and safety protocols): Giannis Antetokounmpo, Donte DiVincenzo, Wesley Matthews, Bobby Portis OUT: Khris Middleton (left knee hyperextension), Brook Lopez (back) -via Twitter @eric_nehm / December 18, 2021
Scott Agness: Khris Middleton (left knee hyperextension) won’t play tonight vs Pacers. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / December 15, 2021
Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton suffered a hyperextended left knee late in the third quarter of Milwaukee’s 117-103 loss to the Celtics at TD Garden and did not return, but initial signs are that the injury won’t cause him to be out for a lengthy period of time. “We’ll know more tomorrow, but I think there’s some hope that it’s not serious,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “But you’ve got to weigh it and give it time.” -via ESPN / December 14, 2021
