Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton is expected to undergo surgery Monday to repair a fractured fourth metacarpal on his right hand, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The injury happened with 3:40 remaining in the third quarter, when Connaughton was guarding Suns guard Chris Paul on a drive to the basket.
He plays a huge and key role for us coming into the starting lineup every now and then, just being that glue guy for us on both sides of the ball.
Losing Connaughton is a tough loss for a Bucks team that just traded away Donte DiVincenzo to the Sacramento Kings at Thursday’s deadline.
It’s been reported that they’re interested in veteran guard Goran Dragic who is expected to be bought out by the San Antonio Spurs after being traded there by the Toronto Raptors.
