Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton didn’t practice Thursday due to an ankle injury and his availability is uncertain for Friday’s Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the host Indiana Pacers.
Middleton tweaked his right leg in the opening quarter of Tuesday’s 125-108 loss in game 2. He briefly exited the game before returning and finished with 15 points in 36 minutes.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers said he was unsure how to view Middleton’s status for Game 3.
“It’s another holding-our-breath situation,” Rivers said. “Honestly, I don’t know.”
Middleton is averaging 19.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists through the first two games, which the teams split.
The Bucks were without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) for the first two games.
Rivers was optimistic about how Antetokounmpo looked on Thursday.
“I saw him moving around and my mindset is he’s getting close,” Rivers said. “Does that mean a day, four days? I’m not sure.”
