Tyler ConwayJun 27, 2021

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will play in Sunday's Game 3 matchup against the Atlanta Hawks despite dealing with a calf injury.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters Antetokounmpo is undergoing treatment but is expected to be "fine." He has been listed as probable on the injury report.

It's unclear when Antetokounmpo suffered the injury. He had 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes in Milwaukee's Game 2 victory.

The two-time reigning MVP has missed time with occasional injuries this season but has not been absent for long. He's played in 74 of the Bucks' 85 games this season (regular season and playoffs) and is averaging 28.9 points, 13.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists during the postseason. 

The Bucks cannot make the Finals without Antetokounmpo in the lineup, so his health will be paramount for the remainder of the series.
