The Milwaukee Bucks faced a disappointing defeat against the Charlotte Hornets, losing 111-100 on November 12, 2025, at the Spectrum Center. The game was overshadowed by an injury to Bucks player AJ Green, who exited early due to discomfort in his right shooting arm.
AJ Green’s Injury Details
AJ Green sustained the injury after taking an elbow to his arm during a defensive play. He experienced significant discomfort, particularly when attempting to shoot. After leaving the court, he was seen flexing his hand and gripping his forearm. Despite this, Green remained optimistic, stating he would be fine moving forward.
Game Performance
In the game, Green struggled, finishing with only three points, shooting 1 of 4 from the field in 27 minutes. After checking out with just over three minutes left in the third quarter, he sought treatment from the training staff, who wrapped his forearm just below the elbow. Although he tried to mimic shooting motions in the tunnel, he indicated ongoing discomfort.
Final Quarter Developments
- With less than eight minutes remaining, Green continued to practice shooting motions under trainer supervision.
- Despite being labeled “still available” by the Bucks, he did not re-enter the game.
- Bucks head coach Doc Rivers chose to empty the bench during the final moments.
