No Giannis? No Leonard? No problem just yet for the Bucks and Clippers in the postseason
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers remain unsure just when they’ll have their top players back on the floor.
So far, they’ve still managed to do just fine in their respective first-round playoff series.
Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn’t played since straining his left calf April 9 and Los Angeles’ Kawhi Leonard has been unavailable all month with inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee. Neither team has said anything about their potential availability Tuesday when the Bucks attempt to take a 2-0 lead over the Indiana Pacers and the Clippers try to maintain home-court advantage against the Dallas Mavericks.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo “went through a pretty good brisk workout” on Sunday and had been on the court four straight days before taking a maintenance day Monday. The NBA released an injury report Monday night that listed Antetokounmpo as doubtful for Game 2.
