| Bucks' Bobby Portis Jr. will miss two weeks due to knee and ankle problems |
Bobby Portis Jr. will be out for a while because of two injuries he got during Monday's win over the Detroit Pistons. He sprained the MCL in his right knee and sprained his right ankle.
Medical Update on Bobby Portis:

Bobby Portis suffered a right knee MCL sprain and a right ankle sprain in Monday’s game at Detroit. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.https://t.co/x1heYIX6be
The team says that Portis will be looked at again in two weeks.
Portis, who is 27 years old, left Monday's game early in the fourth quarter. He had 18 points and 10 rebounds. This season, the player from Arkansas has played in every game and has averaged 14.1 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.
Milwaukee's two-week schedule says that Portis will likely miss at least seven games. His absence hurts the Bucks even more, since they haven't been at full strength for a long time this season. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton have just come back from their own injuries.
The Bucks are third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 30-17.
