Earl Boykins will be out until late March. He has decided not to have surgery to repair the torn ligaments in his right thumb. Look for rookie Lynn Greer to take Boykins minutes until he returns. Boykins has played well for the Bucks since they acquired him for Steve Blake. He has played in 20 games for the Bucks and he’s averaged 33.9 minutes, 14.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. He also has shot an amazing 46.6% from three point range.

Just when the Bucks got healthy Earl Boykins tore ligaments in his right thumb. It’s unsure at this time whether or not Boykins will try to play through it or shut it down. Boykins ahs played in 51 games this season and he’s averaged 14.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists.

The Bucks lost Dan Gazduric until late March after he dislocated his left shoulder. This could hurt the Bucks a little bit as he would give Andrew Bogut a breather every night. Gadzuric has played in 44 games this season and has averaged 12.8 minutes, 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.

Maurice Williams will be out 2-3 weeks with a sprained shoulder. The Bucks were very fortunate because this injury looked much worse when it occurred. Williams will be missed as he had been averaging 35.5 minutes, 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game. The acquisition of Earl Boykins will soften the blow a little bit, but the Bucks are now without their top 3 players (Williams, Redd and Villanueva) and no team could survive that.

Michael Redd will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a patellar injury to his left knee. He will be impossible for the Bucks to replace as he is by far the best player on the Bucks team. Redd is averaging 27.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists so far this season.

Ruben Patterson and Charlie Bell will be asked to pick up the slack with Redd out. Patterson is averaging 13.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this season. Charlie Bell is averaging 11.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season.Â
