Milwaukee’s Giannis Antentokounmpo is OUT vs. the Boston Celtics

Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday and Sam Hauser are also all questionable for Wednesday night’s game.

Fans of the Boston Celtics who were hoping for an all-out brawl with the Milwaukee Bucks at TD Garden on Wednesday night will be disappointed to hear that star Bucks forward Giannis Antentokounmpo will be sitting out the contest hurt.

On the Celtics side of things, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday and Sam Hauser are also all questionable for Wednesday night’s game. This could very well be a bit of a snoozer as far as the on-court product goes. But the two teams do meet one more time this season if they do want a little more high-level ball to lean on before the start of the 2024 NBA Playoffs.

CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning reports on the situation ahead of the game this evening for the “Garden Report” podcast. Check it out below!

Patrick Beverley called out JJ Redick for his harsh criticisms of Doc Rivers’ terrible start with the Bucks

This Doc Rivers situation just keeps getting messier

If there’s one thing we all know about Patrick Beverley, the dude is never afraid to speak his mind about almost anything.

That’s especially the case when it comes to his team and teammates. He rides hard for the people in his corner. And that’s exactly what he’s doing right now when it comes to the criticisms being thrown at Doc Rivers.

JJ Redick absolutely ripped Rivers on First Take after some of the coach’s comments about his team over the weekend. Rivers said that he had some players who were “in Cabo” before the All-Star break, implying they were ready to go on vacation already. And that’s why the Bucks struggled going into the break.

Redick called Rivers out on that and most fans seemed to actually agree with him.

One person who didn’t, though, was Beverley. He called Redick out for being so critical of Rivers — especially after playing for him during his stint with the Clippers.

“That man Doc actually saved your career. Started you when no one else wanted to. And you retire go on TV and say that”

Spicy. Not shocking, though. Rivers is Beverley’s current head coach. Of course he’s going to defend him. Those are some harsh words for Redick. Saying that Rivers saved his career is a surprising move from Beverley here..

Redick wasn’t letting this slide, though. He pushed back against it completely.

“Pat my guy I had a four year offer with player option for the same money to be a starter for a different team. FOH ‘Saved my career.’

Sheesh. This just got way messier than it needed to be. Thursday needs to hurry up and get here so the Bucks can get back to playing basketball.

NBA Preseason Power Rankings: The Nuggets still reign supreme over the rest of the league

The Celtics and Bucks might have a little something to say about that, though.

We’re finally back, folks. The NBA season is nearly here once again. And that means it’s time to get some power rankings cooking again before all the action tips off.

There are so many teams who could win it all this season. Obviously, in the East, we’ve got the Bucks and the Celtics who made arguably the biggest moves of the offseason with their acquisitions at point guard. On the other side, we’ve got the Heat who completely botched everything.

The Western Conference looks absolutely stacked with talent from top to bottom behind the Nuggets. In particular, the Pacific division looks like it might be one of the strongest we’ve ever seen in league history.

Let’s sort through it all in our very first NBA power ranking of the season.
