Play-in Tournament

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to play against the Boston Celtics on Monday night after missing more than five weeks due to a right calf strain. The Bucks, currently 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 26-33 record, hope his return can help them close the gap to the play-in tournament spots. However, it raises questions about balancing short-term playoff pushes with long-term draft positioning.
