MARCH 20, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Drains five threes in return Connaughton totaled 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 138-119 loss to Minnesota.

Impact The 29-year-old wing hadn't played since Feb. 10 due to a finger injury, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined, it was an opportune time for Connaughton to make his return. He was having the best season of his career from beyond the arc prior to getting hurt, averaging 2.3 made threes a game and draining 40.7 percent of his long-range attempts, so Saturday's shooting success is a strong sign he's fully recovered from his injury.

FEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Expected to miss four weeks Connaughton underwent successful surgery Monday to repair the fractured fourth metacarpal on his right hand and is expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks.

Impact Connaughton left Thursday's loss to the Suns after suffering the right finger injury and is expected to be miss at least a month. The Bucks traded Donte DiVincenzo to the Kings ahead of the deadline, so Grayson Allen and Wesley Matthews should pick up additional run on the wing during the duration of Connaughton's absence. However, the Bucks have also been rumored to be heavily involved in the buyout market, so they could add additional backcourt depth to fill Connaughton's void for the time being.
