Milwaukee Bucks’s Giannis Antetokounmpo out for the series vs. Pacers

The Milwaukee Bucks are facing a significant setback as their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, is sidelined for the start of the NBA playoffs. According to Shams Charania, Giannis will be out of action for an estimated two to four weeks due to a calf injury sustained in his last game against the Boston Celtics. This major blow means he will definitely miss the entire first round against the Indiana Pacers and possibly part or all of the second round, should the Bucks advance.
The scenario painfully echoes the injury suffered by Kevin Durant while with the Golden State Warriors, prompting Milwaukee to take every possible precaution. Without Antetokounmpo, the Bucks face unprecedented vulnerability as they enter the playoffs, transforming their series against the Pacers into an unpredictable and daunting challenge. With their MVP on the sidelines, the outcome of this series is more uncertain than ever, testing the team’s resilience and depth to the fullest.
