Milwaukee Bucks injury update for March 30

The Bucks have disclosed that five players are on their injury report: MarJon Beauchamp (back), Patrick Beverley (wrist), Khris Middleton (ankle), and Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) are expected to play, but Damian Lillard (personal) will not be available.

Khris Middleton’s Injury Status

Despite dealing with a persistent ankle issue, Khris Middleton is projected to make his sixth appearance in the last seven games. In his previous five games, he has maintained an average of 14.8 points, 7.2 assists, and 6.6 rebounds while playing 31.4 minutes per game.

During the game against the Phoenix Suns, Khris injured his ankle after accidentally landing on Kevin Durant’s foot while attempting a 3-point shot. He was able to make his free throws before leaving the game, but shortly after it was announced that he would not be returning.

Atlanta Hawks injury update for March 30

The injury report for the Hawks includes seven players: Mouhamed Gueye (elbow), Onyeka Okongwu (toe), AJ Griffin (ankle), Kobe Bufkin (toe), Jalen Johnson (ankle), Trae Young (finger), and Saddiq Bey (ACL) who will not be playing.

The Status of Trae Young’s Injury

The Atlanta Hawks have confirmed that All-Star guard Trae Young will move on to the next stage of his recovery after undergoing surgery on his finger. However, there is no definitive timeline for his comeback to the team’s lineup.

After his successful surgery on Feb. 27 to repair a torn ligament in his left pinkie finger, Trae Young had a one-month follow-up evaluation. According to the team, he is making good progress in his rehabilitation and will begin performing exercises to improve finger mobility this week.

As the regular season draws to a close, they will proceed with caution in determining his return timetable, particularly as they may have to play two crucial must-win games in the play-in.
