Doc Rivers Doubts Giannis Anetokounmpo Will Play In Game 4

The Milwaukee Bucks are potentially down a second superstar, with Damian Lillard battling an Achilles strain. Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers doesn't think Giannis Antetokounmpo, the first injured Bucks superstar, will be back for Game 4 either.


When asked where Antetokounmpo is at with rehabbing his strained calf, Rivers said "He’s working out tomorrow. Going to go hard, early and then we’re going to make a decision".


Rivers was asked if Antetokounmpo works out before Sunday's Game 4 if the star forward would play. Rivers didn't commit, but seemed to lean towards Antetokounmpo not playing.


"I doubt it," Rivers said. "But we’ll see."


The Indiana Pacers lead the series 2-1, with Game 4 in Indiana on Sunday. The series shifts back to Milwaukee for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Doc had Mystikal prepare his end of series speech in advance:

“Ooooooooh (Uh Oh!) It ain’t my fault. Did I do that?”

I'm sure Doc would've preferred to compete for a title. Some of y'all need to get off his tip.

Crazy that Dame dealing with the same thing, they really should shut this group down. That's not going to be a 1 game injury
