MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks started the playoffs Sunday without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to the left calf strain that knocked the two-time MVP out for the Bucks’ final three regular-season games.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo was out for Game 1 of the Bucks’ Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. Antetokounmpo had been listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game.
Rivers said Antetokounmpo “looks better, for sure,” but the coach didn’t offer any clarity on when Antetokounmpo might be available to play. Game 2 is Tuesday in Milwaukee.
“We prepare with what’s on the floor,” Rivers said. “Giannis has done a lot of work. He’s shooting. He’s running again. He looks good. But he hasn’t been able to participate, so we really prepared this week with what we have.”
The two-time MVP averaged 42.2 points, 13 rebounds and 5.4 assists against the Pacers this season, and he scored a franchise-record 64 points in Milwaukee’s lone victory over Indiana.
