The Bucks looked a little thin at the two guard spot in their final preseason game. Not only was Connaughton out with this calf injury, but Grayson Allen also had a non-COVID illness and Wesley Matthews has missed the entire preseason with an ankle injury. Both Allen and Matthews are expected to be healthy and ready to go when the Bucks open the season Thursday against the Celtics.
Connaughton, a catch-and-shoot specialist, averaged 9.9 points a game last season shooting 39.5% from 3, playing about 26 minutes a night.
