Giannis Antetokounmpo Out for Game 2 of Eastern Conference Semifinals
Bucks Star Calf Injury Keeps Him Out of Tuesday's Matchup
Milwaukee's Defense Shines in Game 1
The Milwaukee Bucks will be without reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night.
Antetokounmpo suffered a calf injury in Game 1 of the series and was ruled out of Game 2 after pregame warmups. The Bucks, however, showed their resilience in his absence, pulling out a 111-89 victory in Indianapolis.
With Antetokounmpo sidelined, the Bucks went 4-5 in the regular season. Khris Middleton led the way for Milwaukee in Game 1, scoring 28 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
The Bucks will need to continue to rely on Middleton and other role players in Game 2 as they look to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.
