Pat Connaughton’s latest injury update is not good news for the title contenders.</p><p>The Bucks <a href="https://www.nba.com/bucks/news/medical-update-on-pat-connaughton-2">announced</a> that Connaughton will be sidelined for three weeks due to a right calf strain. The veteran wing sat out the Bucks’ final two preseason games and will now be out for the beginning of the season.</p><p>“Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton missed the last two games with right calf soreness. On Friday, Connaughton underwent an MRI that revealed a right calf strain. Connaughton is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks,” according to the team’s website.</p><p>Connaughton averaged a career-high 9.9 points per game, as well as 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.9 steals, while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from deep last season. The 29-year-old signed a contract extension with the Bucks earlier in the offseason.</p><p>The Bucks still have Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday but now have a key spot in the rotation to fill. With Wes Matthews <a href="https://twitter.com/JimOwczarski/status/1581375288818028544?s=20&amp;t=YBwb7Ym-7H-s2UupHLN4iw">potentially out</a> for a little while, too, Grayson Allen will be relied upon more heavily as Connaughton rehabs.</p><p>Milwaukee could also decide to pull the trigger on a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-rumors-jae-crowder-on-trade-radar-help-out-giannis-antetokounmpo/">Jae Crowder trade</a> following the Connaughton news. The Bucks would certainly benefit from another 3-and-D wing, especially one with playoff experience, alongside their star trio. With Joe Ingles still recovering from his ACL injury, the Bucks could use another veteran wing to lean on.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He went <a href="https://twitter.com/pconnaughton/status/1552134305467580418">full savage</a> on the kids in attendance by destroying them on both the offensive and defensive end.

Kidding aside, though, this was quite an experience for these lucky boys and girls. After all, it’s not everyday that you get to go 1-on-1 against an NBA player.</p><p>At the end of the clip, however, Connaughton was hilariously sent to the floor by a young girl with a slick crossover.
