The Milwaukee Bucks are starting the playoffs without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to the left calf strain that knocked the two-time MVP out for the Bucks’ final three regular-season games. Coach Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo was out for Game 1 of the Bucks’ Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night.

“We prepare with what’s on the floor,” Rivers said. “Giannis has done a lot of work. He’s shooting. He’s running again. He looks good. But he hasn’t been able to participate, so we really prepared this week with what we have.” The Bucks went 4-5 in the games Antetokounmpo missed during the regular season. That included losses in their final two games, which dropped them from second to third in the Eastern Conference.
