Doc Rivers announced that Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss one to two weeks with a groin strain, but it could force the team to grow in unexpected ways. When commenting on the injury immediately after the Bucks’ loss to the Cavaliers, Rivers remarked that they will “find someone or find something to run that will pay dividends later.” Giannis’ injury isn’t ideal, but it could turn out to be a good thing if the Bucks grow from it.
The Bucks have a unique opportunity
Rivers knows that he faces a difficult coaching challenge at the moment, but one that can help the Bucks in the long run.
