Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:13:10 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee’s long wait for the start of the playoffs gave Khris Middleton and other notable Bucks an opportunity to recover from late-season injuries.The top-seeded Bucks hope it also didn’t create a rust factor that could cause them to fall behind the Miami Heat early in their Eastern Conference first-round series starting Sunday.Middleton hasn’t played since exiting an April 5 victory over the Chicago Bulls after he aggravated a right knee injury, but the three-time All-Star said Saturday he’s feeling fine. “My body is feeling is great, my mind is feeling great, so I’m ready to go,” Middleton said.Middleton has plenty of motivation after the way his 2021-22 postseason ended. He sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in Game 2 of a first-round playoff series with the Bulls and missed the rest of the postseason as the Bucks’ bid for a second straight title ended with an Eastern Conference semifinal loss to the Boston Celtics. “Everybody’s hungry,” M...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:13:10 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Arturas Karnisovas just about slammed the door on a total teardown for the Chicago Bulls following a disappointing season.The team’s top basketball executive didn’t completely rule out anything. But he made it clear a complete overhaul is unlikely.“That’s been thrown around all this season,” he said Saturday. “Blow up, rebuild. It’s not on our minds.”The Bulls have some big issues to address after finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference and missing the playoffs. They went 40-42 and won a play-in game at Toronto before getting knocked out at Miami on Friday.For a team that came in thinking it was poised to make a jump in the East and a run in the playoffs, the season was a big letdown.The Bulls were hit by injuries, with point guard Lonzo Ball missing the season because of a knee injury, and never really developed the rhythm they anticipated. It didn’t help that Zach LaVine was slowed by a knee issue early on and that DeMar DeRozan dealt ...
