Brogdon has missed 21 consecutive games after suffering a plantar fascia tear March 15.

The 6-foot-5 guard, who was expected to miss just the first two games of this series, will be on a minutes restriction and come off the bench.

Brogdon had a historic regular season prior to the injury. The 26-year-old became just the eighth player to join the 50/40/90 club — shooting 50.5 percent from the field, 42.6 percent from behind the arc and 92.8 percent from the free-throw line.

Brogdon averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists this season.

A Bucks win and they’ll head back to the Eastern Conference final for the first time since 2001.
