Bucks' Malcolm Brogdon: Plays 25 minutes in return from back injury

Brogdon started at point guard and supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes in a 89-79 win over the Hornets on Monday.

As the Bucks indicated would be the case beforehand, Brogdon was held to a 25-to-30-minute restriction in his return from a five-game absence due to the sore back. It wasn't a particularly impressive showing from the rookie, as he had as many turnovers as assists and shoot poorly from the field, but he'll have one more chance to get on track before the playoffs during Wednesday's season finale against the Celtics. Brogdon could see a slight uptick in minutes for that contest, but it may be hard to rely on him as a DFS option unless the Bucks decide to restrict the workloads of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.
