[Saba Sports News] The Milwaukee Bucks have updated the condition of Giannis Antetokounmpo after he suffered a non-contact injury last Tuesday. The team confirmed that Antetokounmpo has a left calf strain, as initially diagnosed, which fortunately is not a severe injury. The Bucks have decided to sideline Antetokounmpo for the remaining three games of the regular season, during which he will undergo daily treatment and evaluations.
The team is likely aiming for Antetokounmpo’s recovery in time for the playoffs, using the three-game break and the interval before the postseason begins as a recovery period. Currently holding the second spot in the Eastern Conference and only two games ahead of the fifth seed, the Bucks are set to bypass the play-in tournament, a crucial advantage at this stage.
The playoffs are scheduled to start on April 20, giving the Bucks a ten-day window to prepare Antetokounmpo for the postseason. Considering the initial alarm caused by the nature of the injury when it occurred, the team considers this timeline a favorable outcome.
