Giannis Antetokounmpo says he "tried my best" to get back on the floor for the Bucks' first-round playoff loss to the Pacers but acknowledged he "wasn't even close" to playing.
Despite two coaching swaps and the addition of Damian Lillard, the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated from the postseason without a healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Damian Lillard returned from his right Achilles injury, but the Bucks lost to the Pacers to end their season. Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the entire playoff series because of a left calf strain.
Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton said his younger brother was called the N-word by a fan while sitting in the stands during Game 1 of Indiana's first-round playoff series with the Bucks in Milwaukee.
Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss the remaining three games of the regular season, the team announced Wednesday, after an MRI confirmed a left calf strain.
