INDIANAPOLIS — Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. was helped to the locker room with 12.8 seconds remaining in the first quarter of the team’s game against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Dec. 23 after a fall.
The Bucks ruled Trent out for the game about halfway through the second quarter. The initial diagnosis by the club was a contusion on his left calf.
