The fact that Antetokounmpo was listed for the first time as likely to play well reveals the severity of the injury because the final match should not be expected to lose too much time due to MVP’s illness.
Milwaukee has started the season slowly due to injuries, going 6-6 in the first 12 games. Yet Antetokounmpo remains his regular superstar, averaging 26.6 points, 11.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals.
His next chance is to hit on Sunday, November 14, in the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals rematch against the Atlanta Hawks.
What is the imaginary impact of the absence of antetokounmpo?
Once the antetokounmpo is out, you need to race to the discount wire to pick up Bobby Portis.
Portis started the last three games for Milwaukee, averaging 16.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 triples, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks. Don’t be surprised to find that your production is enhanced by the absence of antetokounmpo.
If Portis owns it, another player to consider is Pat Conaton. With nine rebounds and five assists to go against the New York Knicks, he is ahead of the sniper of the game with 23 points on seven 3-pointers.
When the All-Star Forward returns, both Portis and Connaught will see more opportunities to maintain the numbers.
