Bucks Announce Giannis Antetokounmpo News on Tuesday

After the injury, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said the expectation was that it would not be a long-term setback, with Antetokounmpo projected to return in one to two weeks. Nine days later, he has been trending in the right direction in his rehab and recovery.

That progress was enough for the Bucks to announce on their official injury report that he is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat with a left adductor strain. It marks the first upgrade in his status since the injury and signals he is moving closer to a return. His potential comeback could provide a much-needed boost to help Milwaukee snap its losing streak.

“Injury Report – Nov. 26 at Miami, Questionable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Left Adductor Strain),” the Bucks wrote on X.

Antetokounmpo has spent all 13 years of his career in Milwaukee, becoming the defining face of the franchise. His crowning achievement came in 2021, when he led the Bucks to their first championship in 50 years with a legendary Finals performance that earned him Finals MVP honors.

Over the course of his career, he has collected two league MVPs, nine All-NBA selections and five All-Defensive honors. Antetokounmpo’s completeness as a player comes from his rare ability to dominate offensively while also anchoring a defense, blending size, speed and skill in ways few players ever have.

Antetokounmpo continues to set the standard for modern superstars, which is why his current injury status carries so much weight for Milwaukee’s hopes of contending.
