Jae Crowder is nearing a return from his left adductor surgery that has kept him out for the past eight weeks.
Crowder pulled himself out of a Nov. 11 game with soreness in his left groin.
Two days later, the Bucks announced that Crowder had suffered a left adductor and abdominal tear and would need surgery to repair the injury.
Crowder re-signed with the Bucks last offseason on a one-year deal.
