Milwaukee Bucks head coach, Doc Rivers, offered a brief update on Giannis Antetokounmpo's health status following yet another loss for his team.
Without their Greek superstar in the lineup, the Bucks suffered a heavy 130-99 defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers. Antetokounmpo's absence was keenly felt, as the "Deer" failed to compete at any point during the game.
After the final buzzer, Doc Rivers was asked about the "Greek Freak's" condition and responded succinctly: "He's making progress. He's just not healthy yet."
Antetokounmpo's absence comes amidst broader speculation, as reports suggested the Bucks intended to sideline him for the remainder of the season, a decision the player himself reportedly disagreed with. The NBA Players Association also sided with him, issuing a relevant statement.
