Nikola Mirotic (thumb) went through Bucks' practice, could play on Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (thumb) went through practice on Friday and could be available to play on Sunday in Game 1 of the first round series with the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Mirotic last played on March 19 before suffering a broken thumb. His initial timeline had him out four weeks, so a return on Sunday would beat the estimate by a little less than a week. If he plays, D.J. Wilson would likely be out of the rotation with Ersan Ilyasova seeing limited minutes.
Early projections by our models have Mirotic collecting 21.6 FanDuel points in 24.1 minutes on Sunday.
