Even more difficult is the situation of Bucks in view of the meeting with the Pacers in Milwaukee at the dawn of Holy Wednesday (04:30) for the playoffs NBA.
According to ESPN, the participation of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard in Game 5, where the Stags are eliminated if they lose (as they are down 3-1 in the series) is extremely doubtful. Both have not overcome the calf/foot and Achilles tendon problem respectively, while there is a risk of a recurrence if they compete.
Bucks coach, Doc Riversstated after the loss in Game 4 that “we will not put any player’s health at risk” and the most likely scenario is for the Bucks’ two superstars to defend themselves.
The Bucks’ first injury report for the upcoming game states that Antetokounmpo and Lillard are doubtful, while Pat Beverley and Khris Middleton are facing problems, but it is most likely that they will play normally.
It is recalled that the Greek Freak was injured three games before the end of the regular season and has missed all the matches of the series, while Dame hit in the first half of Game 4 at a point where he had suffered a lot in recent weeks.
