Bucks breathe sigh of relief after Giannis avoids Achilles injury, but playoffs concern looms Antetokounmpo has a history of quickly returning from injuries that would sideline most. That doesn't change the Bucks' uncertain position.

Impact Antetokounmpo exited Tuesday's win over the Celtics after suffering a non-contact injury, and he underwent an MRI that didn't reveal any damage to his left Achilles' tendon. The Bucks have indicated that his return to play will be based on how his calf responds to treatment and rehab, but the timetable for a return is usually at least 1-to-2 weeks. Antetokounmpo has dealt with various injuries in his left leg in the past and will presumably be monitored closely before being cleared to return to game action.

Impact As Charania notes, Antetokounmpo has seemingly avoided a worst-case scenario after he appeared to suffer a non-contact injury to his calf while jogging up the court following a defensive possession in the third quarter. He required assistance off the court, though he appeared to be moving about the locker room under his own power before the Bucks ruled him out for the night with a left soleus muscle strain. Antetokounmpo appears safe to rule out for the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Magic, and he could struggle to make enough progress in the next few days to return to action for the Bucks' final two games of the regular season Friday in Oklahoma City and Sunday in Orlando.

Impact Antetokounmpo was in a lot of discomfort and the injury occurred without any contact. He's likely to be evaluated further and there's no word on the severity yet. The timing is far from ideal for the Bucks, as the regular season is over in less than a week. If he's forced to miss time, the Bucks will need guys like Bobby Portis, Jae Crowder and Pat Connaughton to step up.

Questionable for Tuesday Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Antetokounmpo continues to deal with left hamstring tendinopathy, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up in the first half of a back-to-back set Tuesday. He suited up despite the injury during Sunday's loss to New York and had a relatively normal workload, tallying 28 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and a steal in 39 minutes.
