Bucks wing DeAndre’ Bembry may be finished for the 2021-22 season after incurring a right knee injury during Milwaukee’s 122-109 loss to the Warriors last night, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. He will undergo an MRI Sunday, though sources expressed concern about the severity of the injury to Woj.
The Nets waived Bembry last month to open a roster spot in the deal that netted Brooklyn Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two future first-round draft picks. Bembry subsequently inked a rest-of-season deal with the Bucks.
In eight games with Milwaukee, Bembry is averaging 9.6 MPG, but has not been much of a scorer. The 6’5″ vet is averaging more rebounds (1.4 RPG) than points (0.8 PPG) for the reigning champs.
The 27-year-old was selected with the No. 21 pick out of Saint Joseph’s by the Hawks in the 2016 NBA draft. He played with Atlanta for four years, before spending the 2020-21 season with the Raptors. He holds career averages of 5.9 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 1.8 APG and 1.0 SPG across 296 contests.
