Doc Rivers On Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Injury: ‘I’m Not Sure’

Before getting on a plane to fly to Indiana, the Milwaukee Bucks held practice on Thursday. The most notable headliner from practice was not seeing Giannis Antetokounmpo do any contact or live practicing, but there is some good news attached.

As Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, the 29-year-old was doing walk-through drills by “shooting and moving.” This is a very positive note for the Bucks, who are heading into Game 3 tied at one apiece.

Doc Rivers did provide an update regarding the health and a possible return; however, it was extremely vague and swayed between pessimistic and optimistic.

“He’s getting close,” Rivers said. “But, I don’t know what that even means. I’m being honest. I saw him moving around and in my mind I said he’s getting close. Does that mean a day, four days? I’m not sure.”

Game 3 is Friday at 5:00 PM EST. The Bucks are listing him as doubtful for tomorrow’s contest.

Kings Offering Jae Crowder A Work Out Before Training Camp

According to Fox40’s Sean Cunningham, the Sacramento Kings have decided to offer former Milwaukee Bucks player a work out before their training camp.

Jae Crowder is expected to compete for an open roster spot, as the 34-year-old is one of the top free agents still available on the market.

Last season, he started in 25 games (appearing in 50 total), averaging 6.2 points off 42.2% from the field and 34.9% from deep.

Bucks Potentially Trading Brook Lopez This Summer

According to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, the Milwaukee Bucks may be looking to trade Brook Lopez for several reasons this offseason.

With Doc Rivers taking over, Milwaukee could switch schemes and want to play a more versatile defense style. This would most definitely mean an exit for the former champion, but it’s not the only reason. Age and contract status is another concern for management.

The 36-year-old is in the final year of his contract, which sees him making $23 million.

Darvin Ham Has Been Hired By The Bucks

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Milwaukee Bucks have hired former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham to a contract.

Ham will be Doc Rivers’s top assistant coach, as this is a reunion between the team and the 50-year-old coach.

When Mike Budenholzer was Milwaukee’s head coach, Ham was employed on his coaching staff. He was there from 2018 to 2021, the year he was hired by Rob Pelinka to coach the Lakers.
