The Milwaukee Bucks will lock horns with the Philadelphia 76ers at the Fiserv Forum, but concerns linger over the availability of their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis has been instrumental for the Bucks this season, consistently putting up impressive performances. However, his strain has raised questions about his ability to suit up against the 76ers.
The two-time MVP is currently listed as ‘Out‘ because of a left calf strain and given Giannis’ importance to the team, the Bucks’ medical staff will carefully monitor his condition before clearing him for action. This will be the fourth straight game, that Giannis will be sidelined from. But that’s not all!
Even Bucks’ Center Liam Robbins and Shooting Guard, Pat Connaughton, have been listed as questionable because of right groin strain and left calf strain. With key players sidelined, the Bucks must rely on their depth to maintain momentum in upcoming matchups until their stars are ready to return to the court.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led-Bucks performance so far
Ranked 3rd in the Central Division and 5th in the Eastern Conference, the Lakers have played 50 matches so far. Out of which they have won 27 of them and lost 23. Leading the charge are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, a dynamic duo that fuels Milwaukee’s success. Giannis has been a dominant force, averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. While Lillard commands the floor with 25.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. With their star power, the Bucks remain a serious contender—despite recent injury setbacks.
