Giannis Antetokounmpo is not expected to be ready for the start of the Milwaukee Bucks’ first round series against the Indiana Pacers due to his left calf strain.
The Bucks are hopeful that Antetokounmpo will be able to return during the series based on his ongoing treatment.
Antetokounmpo was also limited during the Bucks’ first round series last season against the Miami Heat due to a back issue.
The Brooklyn Nets will hire Jordi Fernandez as head coach.
Fernandez is currently the top assistant coach of the Sacramento Kings under Mike Brown. Before joining the Kings, Fernandez spent several seasons under Michael Malone with the Denver Nuggets. Fernandez was also a head coach in the G League with the Canton Charge and also currently serves as head coach of Canada.
The Nets parted ways with Jacque Vaughn as head coach in February and had Kevin Ollie as interim for the remainder of the season.
