The Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to make it six straight wins on Thursday when they host the Orlando Magic at the Fiserv Forum. Unfortunately for them, they might need to do so without their best player available. This is after Giannis Antetokounmpo suddenly popped up on the injury report with what appears to be a new issue.
Milwaukee Bucks List Giannis Antetokounmpo as Questionable Vs. Magic
Giannis looked fine in Milwaukee’s last game, which was a 132-119 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. The former back-to-back MVP dropped an 11-point, 14-rebound, and 16-assist triple-double to help lead his side to victory. Antetokounmpo’s 16 dimes was also a career-high for the seven-time All-Star.
It appears, however, that Giannis may have suffered some sort of injury during the game. According to the official injury report, he is listed as questionable to play on Thursday against Orlando due to a right midfoot sprain.
The Bucks have yet to release the details of the injury, but the fact that Antetokounmpo is questionable means that it’s likely that he will miss just his second game of the season.
It is worth noting that Orlando is currently one of the hottest teams in the NBA. They are fourth in the East with a 16-9 record and are just 2.5 games behind the Bucks, who are currently second in the conference.
The Magic are also up 1-0 against Milwaukee in their season series after they defeated Giannis and Co. in Olrando on November 11, 112-97.
