Giannis Antetokounmpo Latest News
Ruled out
Antetokounmpo (back) won't play in Saturday's game against Washington. Antetokounmpo will miss Saturday's contest due to back spasms, opening the door for Bobby Portis, Andre Jackson and Taurean Prince to see extended action. Antetokounmpo played 30 minutes in Friday's 23-point loss to the Cavaliers and the injury doesn't appear to be anything serious. His next chance to play will come Monday at Chicago.
Trending toward sitting
Antetokounmpo (back) is unlikely to play in Saturday's game against the Wizards, Justin Garcia of Bucks Radio reports. Antetokounmpo was initially listed as questionable due to back spasms, but he's now considered doubtful to face Washington. With Damian Lillard (calf) already ruled out, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez should shoulder the offensive load. In addition, Andre Jackson, Taurean Prince and Marjon Beauchamp could see more minutes if Antetokounmpo sits.
Dealing with back spasms
Antetokounmpo is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to back spasms. Antetokounmpo has been battling a lingering knee injury, but his appearance on Saturday's injury report is due to back spasms instead. Considering the touchy nature of the injury, Antetokounmpo may be a game-time call. If he can't go, expect Bobby Portis and Marjon Beauchamp to see an uptick in playing time.
Pops for 33 points Friday
Antetokounmpo finished Friday's 124-101 loss to Cleveland with 33 points (13-22 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 30 minutes. The Bucks looked overmatched in this battle of Eastern Conference hopefuls, but despite the team's overall struggles, Antetokounmpo took advantage of the absence of Damian Lillard (calf) to deliver a strong line based on a very high usage rate. This was Antetokounmpo's sixth straight game with at least 30 points, cementing his place as one of the league's most dominant scorers.
Gets green light Friday
Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Friday's game against Cleveland, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Antetokounmpo has been a mainstay on the injury report while he deals with a lingering right knee injury, though he has missed only two games this season. The superstar has averaged 32.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.0 blocks across 35.3 minutes per game over six regular-season outings in December.
Expected to play Friday
Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers. Antetokounmpo continues to deal with a nagging knee injury but has suited up in each of Milwaukee's last seven regular-season outings. The superstar forward is averaging 35.7 minutes per contest over that span, indicating that he won't operate on a minutes restriction.
Shines in NBA Cup Championship win
Antetokounmpo tallied 26 points (10-19 FG, 6-11 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and two steals across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 97-81 NBA Cup Championship win over the Thunder. Antetokounmpo led the Bucks in nearly every major statistical category while earning NBA Cup MVP honors and recording his fourth triple-double of the 2024-25 campaign. The superstar was elite on both ends of the floor, tying his season-high mark in steals while chipping in three-plus blocks for the seventh time this year. Antetokounmpo has yet to score fewer than 20 points in a game this season, and he has logged 16 outings with 30-plus points thus far.
Gets green light for NBA Cup Final
Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Tuesday's NBA Cup Championship game against the Thunder, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Antetokounmpo has been a mainstay on the injury report due to right patella tendinopathy, though he'll suit up for his eighth consecutive outing Tuesday. The superstar has averaged 32.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals across 36.8 minutes per contest over his last five games.
Probable for NBA Cup Final
Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's NBA Cup Championship game against the Thunder. Antetokounmpo has regularly shown up on the injury report due to right patella tendinopathy, but it hasn't prevented him from playing and shouldn't sideline him Tuesday. Across six regular-season games in December, Antetokounmpo has averaged 32.0 points on 63.1 percent shooting ,10.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.0 blocks over 35.3 minutes per game.
