Bucks Could Be Without Key Piece Against New York Knicks as Tyler Herro Is Questionable
Herro listed as questionable
The Bucks’ injury report Monday night listed Herro as questionable for the Nov. 10 game in New York because of a right knee contusion. The article does not say whether he will be available.
Herro has appeared in all 10 games so far and leads Milwaukee in playing time, at 30.7 minutes per night. His possible absence would leave the team without its leading scorer during a difficult start.
A leading scoring role
Herro is averaging 21.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. He is shooting 45.5% from the field and 39.7% from three-point range. The article describes him as Milwaukee’s most consistent player. He scored 13 points in the recent game against Boston, but has also had games in which he scored more than 20 after a quiet first quarter.
Other players could step up
Jaime Jaquez Jr. is averaging 15.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 48.3% from the field and 42.5% from three-point range. He scored four points against Boston on Sunday.
If Herro is unavailable, the article says Ryan Rollins, Kasparas Jakucionis and AJ Green could see more opportunities. Rollins is described as having started the season disappointingly after a breakout year.
