Bucks Injury Report: Crucial Forward Ruled Out For Matchup vs Clippers

Without Portis in this lineup, Milwaukee will need to look elsewhere for bench scoring help. The Bucks have relied on the veteran for 3-point shooting and a boost on the offensive end of the floor.

Luckily for the Bucks, they should have their stars in the lineup for this game. While Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton were both on the injury report as well, they were both listed as probable for the game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Injury Status For Bucks vs Clippers

The Bucks enter this contest having won five straight games, taking control of their season. After a very slow start to the year, the Bucks have put themselves directly into contention within the Eastern Conference standings.

Milwaukee currently holds a record of 25-17 heading into this game and they will try to keep the winning going strong. Going up against a tough Clippers team won't be easy, especially with Portis missing from the lineup.
