As if the Boston Celtics didn't face enough of a challenge Wednesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will welcome back their starting point guard.
Malcolm Brogdon is listed as probable for Game 5 in Milwaukee and is expected to play, Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer announced Wednesday.
Brogdon will be on a minutes restriction and likely come off the bench, Budenholzer said.
Brogdon hasn't played since March 15 due to a plantar fascia tear in his right foot. Prior to his injury, the former NBA Rookie of the Year was a key cog in Milwaukee's offensive machine, averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while starting in all 64 games he played in.

The Bucks have rallied without Brogdon, winning three in a row after dropping Game 1 at home to take a 3-1 series lead. They'll go for the kill Wednesday night in Game 5 with both teams back to full strength, as Celtics guard Marcus Smart returned from his injury in Game 4.
