Giannis Antetokounmpo last suited up for the Bucks on March 15, scoring 31 points in just 23 minutes in a win over the Pacers. He’d exit the game early with a knee injury.
That win pushed Milwaukee to 28–39, though their playoff odds were already incredibly slim. The Bucks were in 11th place—the same spot they find themselves in today—and five games back of the Hornets for the final spot in the play-in tournament. With Antetokounmpo out, Milwaukee has gone 2–8, and was officially eliminated from postseason contention with a March 29 loss to the Spurs.
