Milwaukee Bucks' DeAndre' Bembry tears ACL and MCL in right knee, will have season-ending surgery

Milwaukee Bucks forward DeAndre' Bembry tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee and is expected to undergo season-ending surgery in the coming days, the team said on Sunday.

Bembry was injured in Saturday night's 122-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

He had averaged nearly 10 minutes a game since signing with the Bucks a month ago. Milwaukee signed Bembry to shore up its perimeter depth, especially with the losses of Donte DiVincenzo, who was traded to the Sacramento Kings, and Pat Connaughton, who suffered a fractured hand.

Bembry, 27, had averaged 5.8 points in 48 games with the Brooklyn Nets, who waived him to create roster space to complete the James Harden-Ben Simmons trade. A first-round pick of the Hawks in 2016, Bembry played the first four years of his career in Atlanta before stops with Toronto and Brooklyn.
