The Milwaukee Bucks kick off their postseason on Sunday in Game 1 of their opening-round series against the Indiana Pacers. Unfortunately, it now appears that Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be available for that crucial matchup.
Not only that, but it is now being reported that the former back-to-back MVP could need more time to heal from what has become a truly concerning calf injury.

It was ESPN’s NBA guru Adrian Wojnarowski who broke the news on Tuesday morning:
“The Milwaukee Bucks are preparing to be without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for the start of their opening round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, but are hopeful treatment on his left calf strain will allow him to return sometime later in the series, sources told ESPN on Tuesday,” Woj reported.
This is a developing story and will be updated shortly.
