Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon has a minor plantar fascia tear in his right foot and will be sidelined indefinitely, the team announced Saturday.

Brogdon exited early in the Bucks' 113-98 comeback victory at Miami on Friday, finishing with no points on 0-for-3 shooting in 6 minutes 30 seconds of playing time.

The third-year player had an MRI and an examination Saturday by team physician William Raasch in Milwaukee, according to the Bucks.

There is no clear timetable for Brogdon's return, but ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski cited sources saying that Brogdon will miss six to eight weeks.
