Andre Jackson Jr. was ejected from the Milwaukee Bucks' game against the Brooklyn Nets for a Flagrant 2 foul. The Nets lead by double digits at halftime.
A key Milwaukee Bucks player won't be available for the second half of the club's home matchup against the visiting Brooklyn Nets . Starting Bucks shooting guard Andre Jackson Jr. was ejected late into the second quarter of Thursday's matchup against the Nets for a foul against Brooklyn center Nic Claxton, who shot two free throws as a consequence of the interaction. The contact was upgraded to a Flagrant 2 foul, forcing Jackson's ejection.
At present, Milwaukee trails Brooklyn by double digits, 66-54. Two-time league MVP power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo leads Milwaukee with 12 points on 6-of-13 shooting from the field, six rebounds and five assists. Three-time All-Star Bucks small forward Khris Middleton has 10 points and three rebounds, while perpetual Sixth Man of the Year candidate Bobby Portis has 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting from the floor and a pair of boards. Reserve Brooklyn shooting guard Cam Thomas leads all scorers with 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the floor. New Nets arrival D'Angelo Russell (who was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Nets, for the second time in his career) has 11 points, while top trade chip Cameron Johnson has 10. The Bucks' defense has been fairly lackluster against Brooklyn, who have been able to score more or less at will through two quarters. The Nets' athletic upside and youth seem to be giving the far older Bucks (four out of five Milwaukee starters are 30 or older) major issues. Jackson, a second-year player, was promoted by head coach Doc Rivers ahead of veteran signing Gary Trent Jr. after the team got off to a dismal start through Trent's first seven games with the club. Jackson finishes the game with just two points on 1-of-1 shooting from the field and two rebounds in 13:31 of action. His absence means that Trent will likely earn a more pronounced role in the contest's second half. He's the only two-guard, aside from Johnson, who's gotten any run in this gam
