Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon offered good news about his injury status in a brief message to fans on the team’s Twitter account.
“I’m feeling great,” he said. “I’ve been doing a lot of rehab, doing as much as I can under this quarantine, but I’m 100%. I’ve been on my bike, my Peloton bike, and I’ve been running hills in my backyard. Thank you for all of your support and wishes and prayers.”
Brogdon was listed as week to week when he suffered a torn muscle in his quadriceps in early March. He said at the time that he was planning to return for the postseason, but the NBA’s hiatus has allowed him to heal while missing hardly any games.
Brogdon has made an impact in his first season with Indiana after coming from the Bucks in a sign-and-trade deal. He’s averaging 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists through 48 games and has the Pacers tied for fifth in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Brogdon has had a great season, definitely was the right move for him to move on from Milwaukee. Still think the Bucks should have kept him.
His assists are up but his shooting is terrible other than free throw %.
He is too expensive as complementary player. By the way, he is always 100% healthy after a long break, it’s basketball that makes him unhealthy. Good move by the Bucks to move on. Middleton took over the role of our 50/40/90 guy.
Keep telling yourself that!
