Bucks coach Doc Rivers tells reporters that Khris Middleton "did some live stuff, but not 5-on-5" at today's practice. Rivers added that they'll know his status for sure tomorrow, but that Middleton would still need to play 5-on-5 tomorrow to be ready for Wednesday's game.Following Tuesday's practice, Rivers confirmed Middleton did not participate in the team's scrimmage. Therefore, he's unlikely to be cleared for action and is expected to be day-to-day for the Bucks moving forward.As for Philadelphia, they have questions of their own.
As for the injured Paul George and the resting Joel Embiid, their statuses have already been determined. The two All-Stars will not get the nod to play on Wednesday night. While the Sixers haven't hinted at any setbacks for either guy, they have to go through an evaluation phase before getting cleared to return to court. Embiid will get checked out again for next week's slate. Meanwhile, George could be back out on the court sometime later this week.Title: Credentialed writer/reporter covering the Philadelphia 76ers for Sports Illustrated’s FanNation Email: JustinGrasso32@Gmail.
