While the Bucks are struggling against Miami, Giannis Antetokounmpo is still suffering from back pain. The Greek star has already missed two games and could well see his absence extended. Mike Budenholzer delivers a very worrying update on the strong winger’s state of health.
The shock was impressive, his absence is just as much felt. After his crash in Game 1 against Miami, Giannis Antetokounmpo still hasn’t returned and his Bucks are struggling to do without him. Now down 2-1, Milwaukee already finds itself with its back to the wall and no longer has much room for error, since Miami seems ready to realize what would be the biggest surprise of this first round of playoffs.
As commendable as Bobby Portis’ efforts may be, you don’t replace a two-time MVP that easily. The American does not, as one might suspect, not have the same productivity as Giannis in painting, and yet he may have to get used to it. A final update has come out about the Greek and Bucks fans might be starting to cringe…
Bucks’ disturbing update on Giannis
While all the followers are hanging on Mike Budenholzer’s lips to learn more about the case of the 2021 Finals MVP, the Bucks coach has spoken. About the potential absence of his star for Game 4, Bud was rather evasive but delivered a generally worrying answer. At the Kaseya Center on Wednesday, nothing is less certain than the presence of the Greek Freak:
I think we will continue to monitor it over the next few days. I don’t think injuries are an exact science all the time. He is just in a form that does not allow him to play. We’ll just keep watching him, working with him, and we’ll just have to pray for the best.
A return of Giannis therefore does not yet seem certain for Milwaukee, and the Bucks coach therefore relies on prayers to hope to see his franchise player again. We also understand the urgency of the situation rather well since a defeat in the next match would put the 2021 champion in a very uncomfortable position. So let’s hope for the Greek that this back injury resolves fairly quickly, despite the violence of the shock he received.
Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo (lower back contusion) will not return to Game 1 of Bucks-Heat, per @ShamsCharania.

Despite a few players capable of carrying the team, the absence of Giannis is really detrimental for Milwaukee. This new update should not delight fans who could see their team go from favorite for the title to eliminated in the first round…
