Bucks hope for star Antetokounmpo in NBA final
sport">11.45 am: It is uncertain whether the Milwaukee Bucks basketball players will have their star Giannis Antetokounmpo at the start of the grand final in the NBA. The 26-year-old Greek suffered a knee injury in the fourth game against Atlanta Hawks last week. Without their biggest star, the Bucks went on to win the best-of-seven series, which included the Eastern Conference title, 4-2.
sport">The team from Milwaukee will face Phoenix Suns, the champion of the west in the NBA finals. The first game in the best-of-seven series is in Phoenix (Arizona) in the Dutch night from Tuesday to Wednesday.
sport">“He’s had a good day and is making progress,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said of Antetokounmpo. “But we have no expectations. We will see.” Antetokounmpo is good for an average of 28.2 points per game during these play-offs. The Bucks are in the NBA Grand Finals for the first time since 1974. They became champions once, in 1971 with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the star.

sport">07.12 am: Brazil has reached the final of the Copa América. The host nation defeated Peru 1-0 in the semifinals. Lucas Paquetá scored the only goal in the match, his second in two games in which he played for the ‘Divine Canaries’ this tournament.
sport">Brazil had the best of the game in the first half, but only managed to score in the 35th minute. Paquetá shot in with a sideways volley, after Neymar’s good preparatory work. Peru pushed back the opponent in the second half and had long possession of the ball, but did not concede a goal.
sport">The Brazilians will face the winner of the other semi-final between Argentina and Colombia on Saturday, which will be played on Tuesday. Neymar clearly expressed his preference for Lionel Messi’s Argentina team after the game. “I want Argentina in the final. I now support the Argentinians,” he said.
