Overview
- Milwaukee beat Indiana 105-99 for its first three-game winning streak of the season, led by Kevin Porter Jr. (23 points), Ryan Rollins (22) and Bobby Portis (21).
- Antetokounmpo missed his sixth straight game since a Jan. 23 right calf strain; the Bucks are 6-14 without him and 15-15 when he plays this season.
- Rivers reported Antetokounmpo is "getting close," noting the star has been working out pregame and will return when medically cleared.
- The Bucks kept Antetokounmpo through the trade deadline, which Rivers said lifted locker-room morale following weeks of speculation.
- Pacers’ deadline addition Ivica Zubac, along with Kobe Brown, did not play; coach Rick Carlisle said the earliest they could debut is Tuesday and an ankle issue could keep Zubac out longer.
