The Milwaukee Bucks are optimistic that Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss minimal time after he went down with a lower back contusion on Sunday night in their opening-round playoff series with the Miami Heat.
Antetokounmpo underwent an MRI after the game, and it came back clean, coach Mike Budenholzer said on Monday.
“He’s still sore, but I think [it’s] progress,” Budenholzer said, via ESPN’s Jamal Collier. “He’s getting some treatment, and we’ll just continue to monitor him for the next day or two.
