Never two without three. Hit in the calf, Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Game 3 of the series between “his” Bucks and the Pacers, this Friday, in the first round of the play-offs. The two teams are tied (1-1) after the first two meetings. Two matches played without the 29-year-old Greek superstar, out since April 9. Note that Khris Middleton, injured in the ankle, is uncertain. Author of 23 points in Game 1 and 15 for the second round, the latter did not train on Thursday, but he was able to work this Friday. The fourth game will take place on Sunday, still in Indianapolis, before Game 5 on Tuesday, this time in Wisconsin.
A two-time regular season MVP, Giannis Antetokoumpo finished the 2023-24 campaign with 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 73 games. All with his best shooting percentage, 61.1%.
