Milwaukee Bucks point guard Malcolm Brogdon is listed as out for Friday’s Game 3 of his team’s playoff series against the Boston Celtics, according to the NBA’s injury report on Thursday evening. The team could still update his status prior to the game.
Brogdon is looking to return from plantar fasciitis in his right foot, which has kept him sidelined since before the postseason began. In 64 regular-season starts, he averaged 15.6 points per game on 50.5 percent shooting from the field and 42.6 percent from three. He missed the final 13 games of the regular season.
Coach Mike Budenholzer had said earlier that a determination on Game 3 would be made following Thursday’s workout. Teammate Sterling Brown noted that Brogdon “looked great” this week.
