The hits just keep on coming and coming for Milwaukee Bucks as it relates to their collective health at this point in the season.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, new Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic suffered a slight fracture in his left thumb during the team’s 115-101 win over the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum.

As Charania noted, Mirotic’s timetable for a return is as early as two weeks and as late as four, which would slot him into returning midway through the Bucks’ first round series in the playoffs, should it come to that.
