It seems that the question is no longer “if,” but “when?” The subject, of course, is how many members of the Milwaukee Bucks roster will enter the league’s health and safety protocols, as we learned this afternoon that Grayson Allen and Pat Connaughton will be unavailable for tomorrow’s game against Toronto.
Bucks injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors:
Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton - OUT (health and safety protocols)
Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Jordan Nwora, Semi Ojeleye - Questionable (health and safety protocols)— Eric Nehm (@eric_nehm) January 4, 2022The Bucks have already dealt with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, Wes Matthews, and Donte DiVincenzo getting put into the protocols, and it seems that the league’s new streamlined (read: shorter) rules about the length of absences means that Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Jordan Nwora, and Semi Ojeleye might return to the bench.
