Bucks' Eric Bledsoe reportedly sidelined 2-3 weeks with small rib fracture

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe will miss up to 2-3 weeks with a small fracture of his rib, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.

What It Means:

Bledsoe exited Wednesday's game with what was initially described as a strained oblique, but that appears to have been a misdiagnosis. George Hill will likely start if Bledsoe isn't ready for the start of the regular season. The Bucks tip things off on Thursday, October 24, on the road against the Houston Rockets.

numberFire's models project Bledsoe for 17.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.7 3-pointers per game this season.
