Giannis’s injury status for Bucks vs. Nets after recent return.
On Thursday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks will face the Brooklyn Nets in their first game of 2025. Remarkably, this will be the fourth meeting between the two teams this season, with the Nets leading the series 2-1.
The Bucks recently had to manage a short period without their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was sidelined due to illness.
However, the Greek Freak made his return on Tuesday, helping the team secure a comeback victory on the road against the Indiana Pacers.
According to the NBA’s most recent injury report, Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable for Thursday’s game against the Nets due to right patella tendinopathy.
Alongside Antetokounmpo, the Bucks’ injury report also includes AJ Green, who is questionable with a lumbar contusion, and Khris Middleton, who is probable as he continues to recover from bilateral ankle surgery.
On the other hand, the Nets will be missing several players, including Ben Simmons, who will be out due to lower back injury management.
