  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Antetokounmpo (rest) won't be available for Saturday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Antetokounmpo is one of several projected starters who won't be available for this preseason matchup. This is likely a rest-related move in order to have Antetokounmpo available for the regular-season opener on Oct. 21 against the Timberwolves, especially since he was limited to just 36 regular-season games with the Bucks in the 2025-26 regular season. His next chance to play will come against Brooklyn on Wednesday.

  Antetokounmpo scored nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT) while adding four rebounds and seven assists in Saturday's 129-105 preseason win over the Raptors. Antetokounmpo also committed two turnovers, but the star guard delivered a dominant performance in a brief 14-minute cameo, showing he'll be the gravitational force on offense for the Heat when he's on the court. Expect the Heat to manage Antetokounmpo's workload carefully during the preseason with an eye to have him in top-notch condition for the regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Oct. 21.
