Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo – Calf
Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the Milwaukee Bucks’ series opener due to a calf strain, and there is currently no timetable for the return. As long as the Bucks have the series lead, it does not appear that they will rush him back, but things could set up for him to return in a potential Game 7 or to start the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
LA Clippers
Kawhi Leonard– Right Knee
Kawhi Leonard missed the LA Clippers’ series opener due to a sore right knee, for which he received a PRP injection. Leonard will not likely be rushed back with the Clippers holding a 1-0 series lead. However, the hope remains that he could return for Game 2.
