BOSTON -- Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton suffered a hyperextended left knee late in the third quarter of Monday night's game here at TD Garden against the Boston Celtics, and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the night by the team.
Middleton suffered the injury when he landed awkwardly at the end of a defensive possession. After staying on the ground for a moment wincing, Middleton got up and limped down to the other end of the court for the ensuing offensive possession.
He didn't stay on the court for long, however, as he immediately exited the court after a foul on the next defensive possession for the Bucks, going straight back to Milwaukee's locker room with its trainer without stopping at the bench.
