The 2025 NBA Playoffs are in full swing. All 16 qualified teams across both the conferences have played at least first of their seven games from Round 1 series. The Indiana Pacers, seeded fourth in the East and the Milwaukee Bucks, in fifth, are also set to play their second game of the opening round.

In the series opener, the Pacers recorded a blowout 117-98 win over the Milwaukee Bucks to get an early lead. The Pacers were fueled by Pascal Siakam’s 25 points, seven rebounds, and two assists while Myles Turner scored 19 points, five rebounds, and two assists.

On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the three finalists for the NBA MVP Award 2024-25, came up with 36 points, 12 rebounds, and one assist. However, his effort fell short and the Bucks received an early setback heading into their ninth straight playoffs series.

In the second game, the Pacers would aim to continue their run, while the Bucks would focus to overcome their shortcomings to level and get control of things before the series slips away.

Stakes are high and both teams would want to put in their best show with a healthy roster. However, there are a few injury concerns for both Pacers and Bucks. Let’s take a look at how the injury reports look ahead of their second game.
