After a lower back contusion forced Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo to leave Sunday’s game early, coach Mike Budenholzer reported Monday afternoon that the two-time MVP’s MRI was clean.<\/p>\n

After colliding with Miami Heat forward Kevin Love in Game 1, Antetokounmpo played just 11 minutes in Milwaukee’s 130-117 loss.<\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo did not play Monday afternoon due to a team film session, but Budenholzer said the team was optimistic about his status.<\/p>\n

Wednesday night in Milwaukee is Game 2. Budenholzer said Antetokounmpo was lucky to have two days off between Games 1 and 2 to recover. Bucks practice Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

“I think still mostly positive, mostly optimistic,” Budenholzer said. “But we’ll see how he feels over the next day or two.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
