Emergency podcast: Injury to Giannis casts cloud over playoffs and Bucks now tied with Hawks, 2-2

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel June 30, 2021 Duration: 31:00
The lopsided loss to an Atlanta team missing its best player was bad enough. But an injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo has cast a pall over the rest of Milwaukee's playoff future, and perhaps beyond? Bucks beat reporter Jim Owczarski and podcast host JR Radcliffe ask the main question everyone will ask Wednesday morning: Can the Bucks still win the series without their best player? What happened to the 3-point shooting? Why didn't Milwaukee have any success with Trae Young unavailable? Who steps up?

Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
