Zaza Pachulia, the Bucks' reserve center turned starter who was held out of games on Friday and Saturday with a right foot sprain, has had his diagnosis clarified as a stress fracture.
That ailment carries with it a recovery timetable of at least four weeks, according to the team, during which the Bucks’ meager frontline will be stretched even further.
Pachulia’s absence would be more tolerable for the Bucks were the rest of the roster more healthy. In Saturday’s game against Brooklyn, the Bucks did without four players who are slated to be out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.
