The Milwaukee Bucks are facing the prospect of heading into the postseason without their star player, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. It is reported that Antetokounmpo will miss the start of the first-round series against the Indiana Pacers due to a left calf strain, with hopes that he might return later in the series after continued treatment.The injury occurred during a game against the Boston Celtics, where Antetokounmpo had to leave the court after grabbing his calf. Despite avoiding Achilles damage, he was diagnosed with a soleus strain, causing him to miss the last three games of the regular season.With Antetokounmpo out, the Bucks suffered losses and slipped to the third seed in the Eastern Conference. Their odds of beating the Pacers have also shifted, with the Pacers now having a better chance according to sportsbook odds.Despite a strong season from Antetokounmpo, the Bucks face an uncertain postseason, especially after a string of losses towards the end of the regular season. The team will need to regroup and overcome the challenge posed by the Pacers, who have had success against them in previous matchups.
