The Milwaukee Bucks have a huge test Wednesday night, as they are set to host Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the reigning NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
The Bucks are going to face Oklahoma City without two key players, as both big man Myles Turner and guard Kevin Porter Jr. have been ruled out for the contest due to ankle and oblique issues, respectively.
However, Milwaukee still has two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo in the fold and ready to see action.
Antetokounmpo is definitely going to be the man to watch over the side of the Bucks, as he does every outing.
He enters the Thunder game with averages of 28.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 64.5 percent from the field in the 2025-26 NBA regular season.
Bucks flex Antetokounmpo’s incredible feat before facing the Thunder at home
Just before the meeting with Oklahoma City, Milwaukee shared an announcement about a rare accomplishment Antetokounmpo has just made in relation to his status as an NBA All-Star.
“Giannis’ 10 straight selections as an All-Star starter is the longest active streak in the NBA,” the Bucks’ post on X, formerly Twitter, read.

“The Greek Freak” continues to be a force to reckon with on the floor, as his size, power and athleticism remain a problem for any opponent, even for an incredibly good team like the Thunder, who own the NBA’s best record of 36-8.
Milwaukee, on the other hand, are just 18-24.
