Bucks Guard Jrue Holiday to Miss Game with Ankle Sprain

Holiday Injured in Season Opener

Milwaukee Bucks star guard Jrue Holiday will not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night due to a right ankle sprain.

Injury Sustained in Season Opener

Holiday suffered the injury in the Bucks' season opener on Tuesday night. He exited the game early in the second quarter after appearing to injure his leg. The team later ruled him out for the rest of the game with a right heel bruise.

After the game, Holiday told reporters that he had been dealing with a dead arm, which likely contributed to the injury.

Holiday's Absence a Blow to Bucks

Holiday's absence is a significant blow to the Bucks, who are already without Khris Middleton (wrist) and Pat Connaughton (calf). Holiday is one of the team's best defenders and playmakers, and his absence will be felt on both ends of the court.

Conclusion

The Bucks will hope to have Holiday back in the lineup soon, but in the meantime, they will need to find a way to fill the void left by his absence. With Middleton and Connaughton also out, the team will need to rely on other players to step up and contribute.
