Bucks center John Henson has missed the last three games of the series with the Boston Celtics.

Milwaukee Bucks center John Henson won't play in Game 6 against the Boston Celtics at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Thursday night.

It is the fourth straight game that Henson will miss in the series with back soreness.

During the Bucks' shootaround in the morning, Henson was putting up shots with the team's other bigs.

That is a positive development after Henson didn't even make the trip to Boston for Game 5, opting to stay in Milwaukee to receive treatment.

With Henson sitting out, Thon Maker has seen more action at center.

Maker said the Bucks will be focused with the Celtics holding a 3-2 series lead and Milwaukee's season on the line. 

"It's basketball at the end of the day," Maker said. "We got to have the same approach, the same mentality. We've got to be aggressive from the jump."

'Jet' guarantee: Bucks shooting guard Jason Terry is no stranger to guaranteeing victory.

He said before Game 4 that the Bucks would be back in Milwaukee despite being in a 2-1 hole. 

Unsurprisingly, the 19-season veteran who famously got a tattoo of the Larry O'Brien Trophy before his Dallas Mavericks team won the 2011 NBA title stated the Bucks would win Game 6.

"I guarantee that this will be intense,' Terry said. "Our crowd will be involved heavily. And we shall come out victorious."

Redd alert: The Bucks had a special guest at shootaround: former all-star shooting guard Michael Redd.

Redd was drafted by the Bucks in the second round of the 2000 draft and played 11 seasons in Milwaukee.

He spent a lot of time during the shootaround chatting with Bucks coach Joe Prunty and assistant Vin Baker.
