Milwaukee Bucks are in a precarious position in the playoffs, tied 1-1 to the Pacers. They’re also playing without their star, Giannis Antetokounmpo. As per Shams Charnia, Antentokounmpo is still suffering from his calf strain, which is why he still does not have a green light to play in the next match. Charnia states Giannis isn’t able to scrimmage or run. “I’m told Giannis Antetokounmpo has at least started to do some stationary jump shooting…But still not much cutting, no scrimmaging, no all out running yet…I think the Bucks have to be prepared to keep playing on without Giannis”, he mentioned. The Greek Freak has missed 2 games already in the first playoff series. This is a developing story… 

Is Giannis Antetokounmpo returning for Bucks' playoff run or will they continue without him in the next playoff match against the Pacers?

<h2>About NBA Playoffs</h2>
The NBA Playoffs is an annual basketball elimination event held to determine the league champions. It is a four-round, best of 7 tournament that is held right after the regular season and the preliminary tournament, i.e. the Play-In tournament.

While the top 6 teams from each of the conferences come together to play against each other in the play-off series, #7 and #8 from the conferences were determined by the Play-ins.

<h2 data-reader-unique-id="244">How does the NBA Playoffs bracket work?</h2>
With NBA Playoffs, both East and West Conference conduct the matches in a traditional form of best-of-seven rounds. A series is played in the 2-2-1-1-1 format, meaning that a team with home-court advantage will host Games 1, 2, 5, and 7, while the opponent will host Games 3, 4, and 6. Games 5, 6, and 7 will be played if needed.

The format has been in the play since 2014, after a unanimous vote to change the format from the earlier 2-3-2 format. Once the Playoffs begin, teams participating are not "re-seeded". They are already selected on the basis of the results of the Regular season and the Play-in series after that.
<h2>When do the NBA Playoffs 2024 begin?</h2>
NBA Playoffs 2024 officially began on April 20, 2024, after the regular season ended on April 14, 2024.
<h2>What is the Playoff Format for 2024?</h2>
8 Teams will be divided into smaller groups of 2 each in the Eastern and Western Conferences, respectively. Here's how the Playoffs will actually work this year: (NOTE: All data presented is latest as of April 30, 2024)

In the West, we have the LA Lakers and Denver Nuggets in a group, with the Nuggets making it to the next round of Playoffs.

Then, its the Timberwolves and the Suns in another group, with the T-Wolves making it to the next round. Then we will have the LA Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks, with nobody making it to the next series as of today, since they are still contesting to make it to the next round. And lastly, we have the OKC Thunder and the Pelicans competing against each other, with OKC making it to the next round.

Similarly, on the Eastern side, we will have one team making it to the next Playoffs round from each of the following:
<ul>
 	<li>Boston Celtics and Miami Heat in one group.</li>
 	<li>New York Knicks and 76ers in one group.</li>
 	<li>Bucks and Pacers in one group.</li>
 	<li>Cavaliers and Magic in one group.</li>
</ul>
One team from each of the above-presented groups will make it to Round 2.

Coming back to the Western Conference, in round 2, OKC Thunder will clash against one team winning from LA Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks (once a winner is determined in round 1). Then the Nuggets and Timberwolves will be clashing against each other to go ahead. Then the two winners from this round will clash against each other in the Conference Finals to make it to the Finals.

Similarly, on the Eastern side, we will have 4 teams of the following 8 making it to the next round.
<ul>
 	<li>Boston Celtics and Miami Heat</li>
 	<li>New York Knicks and 76ers</li>
 	<li>Bucks and Pacers</li>
 	<li>Cavaliers and Magic</li>
</ul>
Then, once the four teams are determined, they will be divided again in groups of 2, clashing against each other in the Conference Finals, with the best team finally making it to the Finals.
<h2 class="mg-t-b-20 article-content" data-v-715990a4="">How many teams make it to the NBA playoffs 2024?</h2>
16 teams in total will make it to the NBA Playoffs 2024, like every year. There will be 8 teams coming from the Eastern Conference and then 8 from the Western Conference. The top 6 seeds in both Eastern and Western Conference advance to the Playoffs after making it through the regular season. The final 2 seeds, Seed 7 and Seed 8 from each of the conferences will be determined through the Play-In Tournament.

Currently, this is how the standings look like:

https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1784829998404075692?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1784829998404075692%7Ctwgr%5Edf9e3abedb01510c4554a34f416e69b010a73865%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcsports.com%2Fnba%2Fnews%2F2024-nba-playoffs-bracket-schedule-matchups-and-scores-for-first-round
<h2 data-v-715990a4="">NBA Playoffs 2024 Round 2</h2>
In the second round, we will have the best-of-7 format once again, with the higher-seeded team hosting Games 1, 2, 5, and 7.
<h2 data-v-715990a4="">NBA Playoffs 2024 Round 2 Schedule</h2>
So far, this is what the second round (Conference Semifinals) schedule looks like:
<h3>No. 2 Denver Nuggets vs. No. 3 Minnesota Timberwolves</h3>
<ul>
 	<li>Game 1: Wolves at Nuggets, May 4</li>
 	<li>Game 2: Wolves at Nuggets, May 6</li>
 	<li>Game 3: Nuggets at Wolves, May 10</li>
 	<li>Game 4: Nuggets at Wolves, May 12</li>
 	<li>Game 5*: Wolves at Nuggets, May 14</li>
 	<li>Game 6*: Nuggets at Wolves, May 16</li>
 	<li>Game 7*: Wolves at Nuggets, May 19</li>
</ul>
* = If necessary
<h2 class="mg-t-b-20 article-content" data-v-715990a4="">When do the NBA conference semifinals start?</h2>
The 2024 NBA conference semifinals begin on May 6-7, but the dates can be pre-poned to May 4-5, if the Playoffs end early.

<h2 class="mg-t-b-20 article-content" data-v-715990a4="">When do the NBA conference finals start?</h2>
The 2024 NBA conference semifinals begin on May 21-22, but the dates can be pre-poned to May 19-20, if the Playoffs end early.

<h2 class="mg-t-b-20 article-content" data-v-715990a4="">When do the NBA Finals start?</h2>
The NBA Finals begin on June 6, matching up the best teams from the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. The Finals can end anytime between June 14 through June 23, depending on how long the series lasts.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo?</h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo or the "Greek Freak" is one of those names that have spurred the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_self" rel="noopener">NBA</a> circuit in recent times. Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos, eventually playing for their senior team. Following this, the power forward declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013, where Antetokounmpo was drafted with the 15th overall pick by the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Bucks</a>, a team he has been playing for since then. He wears the No. 34 jersey.

Over his career, Antetokounmpo has been an NBA All-Star seven times. Giannis also won two successive MVP trophies in 2019 and 2020 to solidify his status as a star in the league. After multiple seasons of being heavily criticized for his failure to win a title, the power forward silenced his critics winning his first championship and Final MVP in 2021. In the 2023-24 season, he is continuing his top form, with the Bucks now a force to be reckoned with in the East.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's early life </h2>
Born in Athens to Nigerian immigrant parents, Charles and Veronica Antetokounmpo, in 1994, Giannis Antetokounmpo grew up in a tough environment, with his family struggling to afford the basics. He started playing basketball around age 7, finding an escape and a passion for the sport. By his mid-teens, he had left school to focus on helping provide for his family, taking odd jobs around the city.

Basketball became more than just a game for the young athlete – it was, perhaps, an opening for a better life. That once far-off dream, however, was soon realized, with Antetokounmpo's first-round selection in the 2013 NBA draft.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife and children</h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo fathers three children with his fiancee Mariah Riddlesprigger: his two sons Liam, 4, and Maverick Shai, 2, and his new-born daughter Eva Brooke. He has four brothers, Francis, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. Two of his siblings are contemporaries in the league, with Kostas securing a championship in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers and Thanasis with the Bucks in 2021.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Giannis Antetokounmpo's career timeline</h2>
Drafted 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2013 NBA draft, Antetokounmpo was named to the NBA All-Rookie second team in his first season. Over the next few years, he quickly exceeded expectations, growing into a versatile scorer, lockdown defender, and facilitator all in an athletic 6’11” frame.

He broke out in his third season, averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and earning the Most Improved Player award. In the 2019-20 season, the Greek had another one of his finer campaigns, putting up 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists to lead the Bucks to their best-ever record in the NBA. (56-17). 

In 2021, Giannis delivered on his promise by spearheading the Bucks to the NBA title and earning a Finals MVP title in the process. He then went on to sign one of the largest contracts in NBA history, a 5-year $228 million extension with the Bucks.
