WASHINGTON, April 26 -- The Milwaukee Bucks will not have guard Malcolm Brogdon back in their lineup for the start of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Boston Celtics, local media reported on Friday.

Brogdon, who has been sidelined since mid-March with an injury in his right foot, was supposed to be back in time for the playoff semifinals, but the club confirmed that he would not play in Sunday's Game 1 or Tuesday's Game 2 in the upcoming series.

"We'll reassess him after the first two," coach Mike Budenholzer said. "We're hopeful that he can return in this series as soon as possible. He's been kind of on track and meeting benchmarks, but he's still got some hurdles to cover. An important 5-6 days here."

Brogdon averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season.

The Bucks have turned to a variety of guards to fill his role, including Sterling Brown, George Hill and Pat Connaughton.
