Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe will play in Game 2 of the Bucks’ Eastern Conference semifinal matchup against the Miami Heat on Wednesday, according to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania.
George Hill took over as the starting point guard for Bledsoe in Game 1, as the latter sat on the sidelines with a strained right hamstring.
The Bucks went on to lose that contest thanks to a red-hot performance from Jimmy Butler, and could use Bledsoe — one of the team’s best perimeter defenders — back on the floor.
Bledsoe averaged 11.6 points and a team-best 6.6 assists per game in Milwaukee’s first-round series against the Orlando Magic.
