MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo’s status for Saturday’s Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series with the Miami Heat remains uncertain, Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday.The two-time MVP did some individual work before the Bucks’ practice, but Budenholzer said the All-Star didn’t do “team stuff.” Antetokounmpo left Game 1’s loss Sunday with a bruised lower back and didn’t play Wednesday in the Bucks’ 138-122 Game 2 victory. “We’re just going to monitor him the rest of today,” Budenholzer said before the Bucks left for Miami. “We’ll monitor him tomorrow and see where he is, and together with him make decisions.”Budenholzer did rule out Wesley Matthews’ availability for Game 3 — without saying whether the veteran guard might return later in the series. Matthews also sat out Game 2 after straining his right calf in Game 1.The Bucks went 11-8 during the regular season in games Antetokounmpo missed. They won without him again Wednesd...
