Bucks get major injury update on Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of game vs. Nets

MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for Wednesday night’s contest versus Brooklyn, according to The Athletic's Eric Nehm. Antetokounmpo had an injury designation leading up to Christmas Day (foot sprain), but he ended up scoring 32 points with 13 rebounds and six assists versus New York.

Giannis has missed just one game all season — a Nov. 15 road win over the Toronto Raptors. He is officially listed with right calf injury management for Wednesday night.

Along with averaging 30.8 points and 11 rebounds a game this season, Antetokounmpo has broken multiple career records and leads the franchise with the most points, rebounds and assists in Bucks history.

It would be an obvious blow to Milwaukee if he ends up sidelined for the contest, but expect Bobby Portis and MarJon Beauchamp to be afforded extended minutes if Antetokounmpo is indeed ruled out.

Other players on the Bucks injury report include Jae Crowder, who has been ruled out for Wednesday’s contest due to the surgery that took place on his left adductor last month. Crowder is not expected to be back in the lineup for at least a few more weeks. TyTy Washington and Marques Bolden, who are on two-way contracts, have also been ruled out for the matchup versus Brooklyn.
