The Bucks claimed their third consecutive win on Friday night, beating the Indiana Pacers 105-99, but remain 12th in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, three wins behind the Charlotte Hornets in the final play-off spot.
The Bucks have a 6-14 losing record when playing without Antetokounmpo, but have won 15 of their 30 games when he has been in the team.
Antetokounmpo averages 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game and a 65% shooting success this season, earning him a place in the NBA All-Star game.
He has completed a workout on court before the past three Bucks games and posted a clip on social media from the film The Wolf of Wall Street after Thursday’s trade deadline passed, along with a message: “Legends don’t chase. They attract.”
“It was a relief,” Rivers said. “I thought Giannis’ tweet was like a unifying thing for all the players.”
