Bucks lose Jae Crowder until January with serious injury

Milwaukee Bucks got a major blow until the end of the year as their power forward Jae Crowder will be out for the next eight weeks with a serious injury.

The 33-year-old player has a hernia that requires surgery. The intervention will be performed on Tuesday by one of the luminaries of medicine in this field, Dr. Bob Meyers of Philadelphia.

Crowder, who is considered the best outside defender in the ranks of Milwaukee , is averaging 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game since the start of the season and will definitely be hard to be replaced until at least the middle of January 2024.

Jae Crowder suffered a left groin injury Saturday at Orlando. He underwent testing and further evaluation today by Dr. Bob Meyers in Philadelphia and was diagnosed with a left adductor and abdominal tear. He will undergo surgery tomorrow and be sidelined for approx. eight weeks.
