The Milwaukee Bucks have been dealt a crushing blow as the team confirmed that one of their most experienced and dependable All-Stars has suffered a significant injury, casting serious doubt over his availability for the remainder of the season.
According to an official update released by the organization, the All-Star—whose name is being withheld pending further medical evaluation—sustained the injury during a recent practice session. Early reports indicate it could be a lower-body issue, with the severity still being assessed by team doctors.
“This is a tough day for all of us,” Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said in a post-practice press conference. “He’s a huge part of our identity, both on and off the court. We’re hoping for the best, but we’re preparing for whatever comes next.”
The veteran star has been a cornerstone for Milwaukee throughout the season, providing leadership, playoff experience, and consistent production on both ends of the floor. His absence—regardless of length—poses a major challenge for a Bucks team with championship aspirations and already navigating a competitive Eastern Conference.
Teammates and fans alike have expressed their concern and support across social media, with the injury sending shockwaves through the locker room. The franchise has not announced a timeline for recovery, but sources close to the situation fear it could be weeks — or longer — before the All-Star sees action again.
The setback comes at a critical juncture in the Bucks’ campaign, with the playoffs fast approaching and seeding battles tightening. The team is expected to explore rotation adjustments and possible roster reinforcements in the coming days.
