Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer provided an update on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s status ahead of Monday’s Game 4 against the Heat as the star forward continues to recover from a lower back contusion.
Budenholzer told reporters on Sunday that Antetokounmpo, who has not played since suffering the injury early in Game 1, participated in individual work on the court at the Kaseya Center but remains without a timeline for a return. Milwaukee, the East’s No. 1 seed, currently trails No. 8 Miami, 2–1, after splitting the last two games without Antetokounmpo.
Being an umpire is hard. How do I know that? I umpire high school baseball in Connecticut. Am I looking for some praise or to be called a hero? Well, kinda. But more importantly, it serves as important context for the story of Jim Palmer crushing MLB umpire Vic Carapazza after ejecting Baltimore’s Ramón Urías.
Carapazza rang up Urías on a pitch that looked to be off-the-plate and then after Urías flung his helmet and batting gloves, Carapazza tossed him from the game.

Nick Saban one day could forget more national championships than most coaches have won.
He has won a college football record seven national championships, starting with one at LSU in the 2003 season at age 52. He has won six since coming to Alabama before the 2007 season. There was another one in his 50s in 2009 and five in his 60s in 2011, ’12, ’15, ’17 and ’20. He has also lost the national championship game three times in the 2016, ’18 and ’21 seasons, so he could have double figures.

His comments drew some raised eyebrows within basketball circles—and one high-profile former player didn’t hold back when asked his thoughts on the matter.
