Giannis Sidelined by Calf Strain, Bucks Ousted Amid Beverley Probe
May 4, 2024
Giannis Antetokounmpo is still recovering from a calf strain, limiting him to 30-40% running capacity and contributing to the Milwaukee Bucks' first-round playoff exit.
This is the second year in a row where injuries have significantly impacted Antetokounmpo's participation in the playoffs, influencing the Bucks' early elimination.
Antetokounmpo is considering adjustments to his playing style and training to improve his durability, especially as he nears 30 years of age and 26,000 career minutes.
The Bucks' overall performance has suffered due to injuries to key players, but they are looking forward to a stable offseason to enhance team chemistry.
The NBA is investigating Patrick Beverley for misconduct during the playoffs, which may result in fines or suspensions following incidents of inappropriate behavior towards fans and the media.
