The Milwaukee Bucks will have to play the remaining 2021 playoffs without Donte DiVincenzo on the lineup. The team has obtained a 3-0 lead over the Miami Heat, and will need one another victory to make it to the conference semi-finals. However, as the playoffs continues, the series are bound to get more difficult, and all teams will need their full strength. Here is more on the Donte DiVincenzo injury update, the Eastern Conference semi-finals picture and the Heat vs Bucks prediction.
The Bucks 113-84 victory over the Heat came with a bad news for the team and their fans. Starting guard Donte DiVincenzo will reportedly miss the entire playoffs because of his current left foot tendon injury. The injury occurred during Game 3, where DiVincenzo made his way past Goran Dragic.
DiVincenzo limped off the floor after that, clearly in pain while making the shot. He did not return during the game. While the Bucks have been playing better, an injury to one of their starters could really hamper the team’s chances later on. Including DiVincenzo, the team has been thriving with their starters, making the Milwaukee Bucks injury report damning.

However, the Bucks have PJ Tucker, Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton and Bryn Forbes, who have been doing well off the bench. If they are to face the Brooklyn Nets in the upcoming series, the Bucks need to make their best plays. Over the last two games, Forbes has shot 56% from the three-point area.
As per the current results, the Bucks and Nets might be heading straight to the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The Nets have recently lost Game 3, 119-125 to the Celtics, but have a good chance to make it to the semi-finals. With Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving on their roster, the Nets have been title contenders for the entire season. The Bucks, on their end, are seeing this season as another chance to at least make the finals.
