Bucks' Forward Mirotić Will Miss 2-4 Weeks

Forward of the Milwaukee Bucks, Nikola Mirotić, will be sitting out the next 2-4 weeks of play due to a fracture in his left thumb, the team announced. As the Bucks try to hold off the Toronto Raptors for the top position in the East, they are also without their starting point guard Malcolm Brogdon who is missing 6-8 weeks due to a minor plantar fascia tear in his right foot.

The Bucks acquired Mirotić from the Pelicans at the trade deadline for Jason Smith, Stanley Johnson and four second-round picks.
