Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is still not practicing in full or doing any sort of live, on-court work at practice. According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, the former MVP was in attendance at practice but he only walked through some things and didn't participate. Game 1 of the series between the Bucks and Indiana Pacers is Sunday night, and his status will be something that needs to be closely monitored. If he's unable to play, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, and Jae Crowder are likely going to get plenty of minutes to try to offset the loss of their best player.

The Milwaukee Bucks are preparing to be without forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) for the start of their first-round series against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, but they are hopeful treatment on his strained left calf will allow him to return sometime later in the series. It coincides with Monday's report from The Athletic's Shams Charania that Antetokounmpo's status for beginning of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals is very much up in the air, but the 29-year-old two-time MVP sounds to be doubtful at best for Game 1. For the Pacers, it's a big upgrade to the matchup outlooks of their entire offense from a DFS perspective, namely Pascal Siakam's. Damian Lillard will steer Milwaukee's offense in any games Antetokounmpo misses, with Bobby Portis being the direct fantasy beneficiary of any of the Greek Freak's absences.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is rehabbing daily, but there's some real doubt for his status to begin the first-round series versus the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Although Antetokounmpo has rare recovery ability, he's very much up in the air for Game 1. Antetokounmpo sustained a strained left calf in last Tuesday's win over the visiting Boston Celtics, and early indications suggest he won't be available for the Bucks at the start of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Expect Milwaukee's offense to run through co-superstar Damian Lillard for any games he sits out, as Lillard averaged 29.9 points, 7.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals over eight games without Antetokounmpo this season. Additionally, Bobby Portis averaged 20.8 points, 10.1 boards, 1.7 dimes, 1.2 swipes, and 2.0 threes across eight outings sans the Greek Freak this year.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will miss the rest of the regular season. The multi-time All-Star suffered a calf injury during Tuesday's win over the Boston Celtics and underwent an MRI, revealing a strained Soleus. He'll undergo daily treatment and receive routine evaluations moving ahead. However, it appears there's a chance Antetokounmpo may also miss the postseason or at least part of it. But until he's back in the lineup, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton should see a surge in offensive opportunities. Bobby Portis, who plays well when Antetokounmpo isn't available, could also continue to benefit.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. The 29-year-old went down with a non-contact injury in Tuesday's win over the Celtics. Of course, there was a great deal of concern regarding the injury. However, Antetokounmpo underwent an MRI, which revealed he is dealing with a strained soleus. Milwaukee has two games left before the postseason commences, although things don't look promising regarding his availability. But as far as Wednesday's contest is concerned, Khris Middleton (ankle) is also out to rest. As a result, Damian Lillard, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez are expected to pick up most of the slack. There's also a chance guys like Jae Crowder, AJ Green, ... [More]

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo has avoided a serious Achilles injury, sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Bucks star strained his calf in Tuesday's clash against Boston, specifically his left soleus, which is a muscle in the back part of the calf. Luckily, tests have revealed that the former MVP avoided damage to his Achilles. His return to court will depend on how quickly he recovers from the calf strain. Milwaukee has three more games left to play in the regular season. Bobby Portis should benefit the most from Antetokounmpo's absence.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) suffered a non-contact injury during Tuesday's win over the Celtics. He was down for a bit before limping his way back to the locker room. While details were scarce initially, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski provided an update, reporting Antetokounmpo suffered a left calf strain. He will undergo an MRI, although DFS managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor on Wednesday versus Orlando. With three regular-season contests left for Milwaukee, the multi-time MVP may not be back until the postseason, at the earliest. However, it's still too early to speculate. With that in mind, as long as Antetokounmpo is on the shelf, Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard should be the Bucks' top offensive contributors. At the same time, Bobby Portis, Malik Beasley, Brook Lopez, and ... [More]

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't return to Tuesday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. He went down with a non-contact injury in the third quarter and limped to the locker room. At the time, details were scarce surrounding the nature of the ailment. However, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Antetokounmpo suffered a left calf strain. The multi-time MVP has been battling hamstring tendinopathy over the last few weeks.

The multi-time MVP has been battling a hamstring injury and wasn't a lock to suit up for this one. However, he was cleared to play.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Boston on Tuesday. The former MVP will be tasked with helping the team end a four-game skid. Antetokounmpo hasn't had a great time against the Celtics this season, settling for only 22.5 points across two games. However, with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) absent for the C's, Boston will be weakened inside the paint, which is where Antetokounmpo does most of his damage.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Boston Celtics. The multi-time MVP has been in and out of the lineup over the last few weeks because of left hamstring tendinopathy. However, he was on the floor for Sunday's loss to the Knicks and finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, and two blocks. With Milwaukee in danger of sliding down the Eastern Conference standings, Antetokounmpo will likely suit up for the must-win contest. But if he can't play, Khris Middleton (quad) and Damian Lillard will be locks for all DFS lineups. Bobby Portis could also see a surge in fantasy production if Antetokounmpo isn't available.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Knicks. He didn't suit up for Milwaukee's previous contest against the Toronto Raptors due to his nagging hamstring issue. But the Bucks need every win they can get to keep a grasp on the No. 2 spot in the Eastern conference, so the multi-time MVP will be on the floor for a pivotal matchup with New York. Antetokounmpo's return will likely send Jae Crowder back to the bench, nearly eliminating all of his DFS upside. But as far as Antetokounmpo is concerned, he's averaged nearly a triple-double versus the Knicks this season, so he's worth rostering in all DFS contests.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will miss Friday's contest against Toronto. The former MVP has battled through a hamstring issue lately but will take the night off on Friday after being initially listed as questionable for the game.

This is a juicy matchup for the healthy Bucks, as Toronto struggles badly on the defensive end but plays with a fast pace.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The two-time NBA MVP has appeared on the injury report in recent games because of left hamstring tendinopathy. However, he has continued to take the court. Antetokounmpo has suited up in seven consecutive games, playing over 30 minutes in each contest. He has not appeared to be limited by his injury, as he continues to deliver elite production. Since he has a questionable designation, fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to confirm his playing status.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Memphis on Wednesday. Milwaukee finishes off a back-to-back, and Giannis has been upgraded from probable to available. The team is going to need a monster shift from him, with Damian Lillard (groin) and Khris Middleton (ankle) out of the lineup. Additionally, Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis should play a larger part on offense, with two of Milwaukee's three top scorers sitting out the contest.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Tuesday versus the Wizards. The multi-time MVP is making another appearance on the league's official injury report. However, this isn't anything new. But considering Milwaukee wants to keep a firm grasp on the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, Antetokounmpo should continue to suit up. At any rate, he's averaged 36.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.0 steals in two meetings with Washington during the 2023-24 campaign, putting him on the map for DFS participants. Yet, with Damian Lillard (groin) sidelined, those numbers could be even better.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against Atlanta. The multi-time MVP remains on the injury report because of left hamstring tendinopathy. While the ailment cost him a few games, he's been available for Milwaukee's previous four contests, most recently logging 39 minutes in the loss to the Pelicans on Friday. He played well in that one, scoring a game-high 35 points and 14 rebounds, meaning the injury shouldn't discourage DFS managers from getting him in their lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Thursday in New Orleans. The multi-time MVP has been plagued by left hamstring tendinopathy over the last few weeks. However, the injury appears to be getting better, considering he logged 46 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. But Milwaukee has a few relatively easy matchups on the horizon, meaning he may get a night off heading toward the postseason. With that in mind, Antetokounmpo amassed 30 points, 12 boards, and two blocks against the Pelicans the first time these clubs met earlier in the season, keeping him on the radar for DFS managers on Thursday night.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to take the court in Tuesday's mouth-watering matchup against the Lakers. The team has listed him as probable ahead of the tilt. Antetokounmpo has played in two consecutive games since returning from a hamstring injury. He almost had a 30-20 game last time out against the Thunder, so it's safe to assume the former MVP is feeling 100 percent or at least close to it, and we should witness another spectacular performance from him on Tuesday. The Bucks superstar erupted for 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists in this season's first meeting with the Lakers earlier in the month.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The multi-time MVP recently missed two games because of a hamstring issue. But he returned for Thursday's win over the Nets, finishing with 21 points. OKC is one of the best teams in the National Basketball Association, which should negatively impact Antetokounmpo's production. However, he's still a must-start in any fantasy setup.
