The Milwaukee Bucks encountered a challenging day at the office during their 126-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday, April 28, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

In addition to falling behind 1-3 in the series, they also received news before the game that two of their star players, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, would be sidelined due to injuries.

Then, in the early third quarter of the game, star forward Khris Middleton landed awkwardly after a layup attempt, causing him to grimace in pain while holding his left leg.

Despite the concerning look of the injury, the three-time NBA All-Star returned to the game and reassured fans that he is doing well.

"Good, I'm alright," the 32-year-old said in the post-game interview.

The 6-foot-7 scorer scored 25 points, ten rebounds, and five assists, shooting 9-of-22 from the field.

Bucks severely depleted in Game 4 vs Pacers

The Bucks are currently without their best players. Antetokounmpo has been sidelined since April 10 due to a calf strain, while Lillard aggravated an Achilles strain.

Middleton missed some time in the game due to his injury, and another key player also went out.

Forward Bobby Portis was involved in an altercation with Andrew Nembhard in the first quarter, resulting in him receiving two technical fouls and being ejected from the game.
