With Jericho Sims out and Bobby Portis Jr. suspended, Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the only big men available.

The Bucks said Sims is expected to miss four weeks, meaning he probably won't return until postseason play begins. The playoffs start April 19, with the play-in rounds taking place April 15-18. Milwaukee (38-29) is currently fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the play-in rounds are for teams that finish seventh through 10th.

Milwaukee Bucks backup centre Jericho Sims will be out for approximately four weeks after undergoing successful surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb today. Sims’ injury occurred in Saturday’s 126-119 win over the Indiana Pacers.
