Khris Middleton joins Antetokounmpo on Bucks' list of players dealing with injuries

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton's status for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series with the Indiana Pacers is uncertain after he hurt his ankle in the last game and didn't practice Thursday. Middleton was limping in the first quarter of the Bucks' 125-108 Game 2 loss on Tuesday and briefly went into the locker room, but he returned after getting his right ankle re-taped and ended up playing 36 minutes. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Middleton didn't practice at all on Thursday and was unsure of the three-time All-Star's availability for Friday's game in Indianapolis. “It's another holding-our-breath situation,” Rivers said.
