Giannis Antetokounmpo
MIL • Forward • #34
Giannis Antetokounmpo did it all in Tuesday’s Game 5 loss to the Pacers, finishing with 30 points (9-of-17 FGs, 11-of-17 FTs), 20 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks, two steals and one three-pointer.
Antetokounmpo put together a well-rounded performance in the Bucks’ season-ending defeat. The 2021 NBA Finals MVP reached 30 points for the fourth time in the series while impressing as a passer and rebounder en route to securing his only triple-double of the opening round. The Bucks will have another early exit and a long offseason. Still, Antetokounmpo will remain a top option in fantasy leagues next season, especially for managers punting free-throw percentage.

Damian Lillard (Achilles) underwent a successful surgical procedure on Friday.
Lillard suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear during the Bucks’ loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of their series on Sunday. He remains without a recovery timeline, but the assumption is that Lillard will miss a significant portion of the 2025-26 season. His status impacts Milwaukee’s entire rotation and approach to the offseason, as the franchise heads into the summer with limited assets to help strengthen the squad.

Gary Trent Jr. finished with 33 points (12-of-25 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, five steals and eight three-pointers in Tuesday’s Game 5 loss to the Pacers.
Trent Jr. provided the Bucks with another outstanding display of three-point shooting on Tuesday. The veteran guard knocked down at least eight three-pointers and eclipsed 30 points for the second time in the series. His value was shown on the defensive end as well, where he collected five steals. Trent Jr. will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. His strong postseason may help him earn a nice contract.
AJ Green

AJ Green tallied 19 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one block and six three-pointers in the Bucks’ Game 5 loss to the Pacers.
Green had another effective night from the three-point line. Green’s contributions from beyond the arc in Game 5 give him 18 three-pointers in the series, which account for all of his made field goals through the five games. The second-year guard out of Northern Iowa led the Bucks in scoring through the first two quarters and ended his sophomore campaign on a high note. He should remain an important piece for Milwaukee going forward but is not a player who has to be targeted in most fantasy drafts.

ESPN’s Dave Mcamenamin reports that LeBron James suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee in Wednesday’s loss to Minnesota.
James suffered the injury when collided with Donte DiVincenzo in the fourth quarter of the closeout Game 5. The recovery time for the injury is 3-5 weeks, but James will have no need to rush back to the court after the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs. It’s unclear if he’ll return for a 23rd season, but if he does, he should be recovered from this latest injury prior to training camp.

Aaron Gordon accumulated 19 points (9-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 41 minutes in a Game 6 loss to the Clippers on Thursday.
Having shot 40 percent from three in the first five games of the series, Gordon provided solid value in that category after making a career-best 43.6 percent of his attempts during the regular season. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, he came back to earth on Thursday, going 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. While Gordon shot the ball well overall, better three-point shooting would have helped the Nuggets compensate for Michael Porter Jr.'s poor night. Denver will host Game 7 on Saturday night.
Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard had a strong performance in the win over the Nuggets, finishing with 27 points (11-of-22 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in Game 6 on Thursday.
Leonard followed up a near-triple-double performance in Game 5 with a big double-double. The scoring total was the former two-time NBA Finals MVP’s highest output on the series since a masterful Game 2, where he scored 39 points. Leonard got the job done at all three levels and was steady throughout. The Clippers will need more of the same from their go-to scorer on Saturday when they head to Denver for a series-deciding Game 7.
