The two-time MVP was injured in a Game 1 loss to the Heat on April 16 when he landed on his back after colliding with Miami veteran Kevin Love in the first quarter.
Milwaukee was defeated 130-117 in Game 1 and 121-99 in Game 3 due to Antetokounmpo’s absence.
While Antetokounmpo was out, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and Grayson Allen carried the scoring load, but the defense struggled, especially in protecting the 3-point shot, as the Heat shot 48% from beyond the arc in Game 3.
Game 4 tips off tonight from Miami at 6:30 PM CST.
