Crowder has missed the last two months after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-news-jae-crowder-gets-lengthy-injury-return-timeline-after-surgery" rel="noopener">core muscle surgery</a>.</p><p>Crowder last played on Nov. 11 in an ugly loss to the Orlando Magic. He had gotten off to a solid start to the season, shooting 51.6% from 3-point range on 3.4 attempts per game. The Bucks will welcome back the 33-year-old’s 3-and-D presence on a roster that could use the help on the wing.</p><h2><b>Jae Crowder’s time with Bucks</b></h2><p>Jae Crowder re-signed with Milwaukee in the offseason on a one-year deal. He came over to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-news-jae-crowders-immediate-reaction-to-trade-to-milwaukee" rel="noopener">Bucks in a trade</a> from the Phoenix Suns last season after sitting out the majority of the season. The veteran was unhappy with his role on the Suns, and the team agreed he could sit out until a suitable trade was found.</p><p>That deal finally happened in February 2023 right ahead of the trade deadline, with Phoenix initially sending Crowder to the Brooklyn Nets as part of the Kevin Durant blockbuster. That trade was then expanded into a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-how-kevin-durant-trade-nuked-nets-jae-crowder-demand" rel="noopener">four-team deal</a> that involved Milwaukee and the Indiana Pacers.</p><p>Crowder appeared in 18 regular-season games last season for the Bucks, averaging 6.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in 18.9 minutes while shooting 43.6% from 3-point land. However, his playing time dwindled in the playoffs as he really struggled in the shocking first-round series loss to the Miami Heat. The veteran forward played just 10.3 minutes per game and shot 23.1% from the field, failing to make a single 3-pointer in the process.</p><p>While last season ended on a poor note, Crowder was playing 26.7 minutes per game in 2023-24 before this injury and was a key member of the rotation again. With Milwaukee struggling on defense for much of this season, he’ll bring some much-needed toughness to the table.</p><p>The Bucks are 28-12, three games behind the first-place Boston Celtics.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He understands our coverages. […] He understands what he’s out there to do,” Lillard added.</p><p>Bucks veterans Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis also <a href="https://twitter.com/Stoltzy3/status/1724288593894555972" rel="noopener">joined the lovefest</a>, expressing what they feel about getting tons of contributions from <a href="https://twitter.com/eric_nehm/status/1724285509931798680" rel="noopener">two of the team’s young wings</a>.</p><p>“You can see the potential there. He’s a smart player that knows how to play, knows how to use his energy and athleticism the right way,” Middleton said of Jackson.</p><p>“They’ll get extended period of time to go out there and learn and grow. I think that can be really big going forward. You know, two athletic guys that can guard, man, and shoot the ball with confidence,” Portis added.</p><p>And with Jae Crowder out, those two should get plenty of burn in the coming months. Now it’s up to Andre Jackson Jr. and MarJon Beauchamp if they’ll <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-most-pleasant-surprise-2023-24-nba-season" rel="noopener">sink or swim</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Thus, Jae Crowder, the combo forward who can knock down threes and defend multiple positions, started to play a bigger role to give the team more two-way balance. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-news-jae-crowder-gets-lengthy-injury-return-timeline-after-surgery" rel="noopener">Crowder will now be out</a> for a minimum of two months after undergoing surgery to repair the left adductor and abdominal tear he suffered.</p><p>At this point, it remains unclear just how long Crowder will be on the mend. But at the very least, the Bucks forward is in good spirits, <a href="https://twitter.com/CJC9BOSS/status/1724257969666216365" rel="noopener">looking forward to his eventual return</a> to the hardwood if the latest post on his official Twitter (X) account is any indication.</p><p>“ILL BE APPROACHING THIS OBSTACLE WITH THE SAME DRIVE &amp; DEDICATION I PUT INTO THE GAME. I LOOK FORWARD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE BUILDING WITH MY TEAMMATES SOON.

During that contest, Crowder played in just 17 minutes, tallying one point and two rebounds before exiting early.</p><p>Crowder was starting to play a more prominent role in the Bucks rotation, as the team was looking to put more defensively-inclined wings to help contain dribble penetration. The 6’8 wing was also getting more action to start the year as Khris Middleton is still working his way back to full fitness amid his minutes restriction. He was <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/jae-crowder-stats-october-26-2023-to-november-9-2023" rel="noopener">averaging 27.9 minutes</a> for the first eight games of the season, averaging 9.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and two threes per game during that span.</p><p>With Crowder out for the foreseeable future, Malik Beasley and Pat Connaughton will have to be much better on the defensive end of the floor.

He will undergo surgery tomorrow and be sidelined for approx. eight weeks,” the team announced on X, formerly Twitter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bucks forward Jae Crowder will undergo surgery for left adductor and abdominal tear, per <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ShamsCharania</a>.</p><p>Crowder will be out for an estimated 8 weeks. <a href="https://t.co/mMKNoM1aIT">pic.twitter.com/mMKNoM1aIT</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1724203507933188343?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-most-pleasant-surprise-2023-24-nba-season" rel="noopener">Jae Crowder has suit up</a> in all the nine games the Bucks have played so far, starting just twice and coming off the bench in the other seven. Despite that, though, he is third in the team in minutes per game with 26.7–just behind Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.</p><p>The 33-year-old forward is averaging 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

Despite his struggles to get on the floor with Milwaukee in 2022-23, though, the veteran forward will be back to chase a championship with Giannis Antetounmpo and company next season.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1675243714904739841" rel="noopener">Crowder signed a one-year deal</a> to return to the Bucks on Saturday, per Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report.</p><p>Intel leading up to free agency suggested <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-jae-crowder-leaning-toward-bucks-free-agency-decision-after-awkward-ending-with-bucks" rel="noopener">Crowder was always likely to re-up</a> in Milwaukee despite lingering frustrations with his role in 2022-23. His self-imposed exile from the Phoenix Suns finally ended at the February trade deadline, when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/trade-grades-for-jae-crowder-nets-deal-with-bucks" rel="noopener">Bucks sent a whopping five second-round picks</a> to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Crowder, who’d just been moved in the deal that sent Kevin Durant to the desert.</p><p>Instead of providing Milwaukee with the lineup versatility, two-way toughness and opportunistic three-point shooting P.J. Tucker did during the team’s 2021 championship run, however, Crowder barely get on the floor with his new team. He notched a string of DNP-CDs toward the end of the regular season, making Crowder’s lack of a meaningful rotation role in the Bucks’ first-round playoff loss to the Miami Heat hardly surprising.</p><p>“I’m very confused as to why I was brought here.

He relished playing with his Milwaukee teammates, and will enter 2023-24 with a clean slate under a new coaching staff led by Adrian Griffin.</p><p>“I would [re-sign], because in the locker room it’s a great group of guys who puts work first and we have fun after that,” Crowder said in early May. “I can work in that type of environment and I really do appreciate my teammates for welcoming me. From day one it’s just been love from that side.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
