Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Antetokounmpo is on the injury report with a lingering left knee issue that sidelined him Thursday, but after suiting up Saturday and now carrying a probable tag, he's likely to play Monday. The superstar has opened the 2025-26 campaign in dominant fashion, averaging 34.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 blocks through five appearances.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Kings.
After missing a game for the first time this season Thursday against the Warriors due to a knee issue, Antetokounmpo has a chance to return to the floor. If the superstar big man is ruled out for this matchup, the team will likely turn to Kyle Kuzma again in the starting lineup, with Bobby Portis getting more time off the bench.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Ruled out for Thursday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Antetokounmpo was initially listed as probable for Thursday's game, so, surprisingly, he's getting ruled out just an hour before tip-off. With Antetokounmpo on the sidelines, Kyle Kuzma or Bobby Portis could start and there will be more shots for guys like Myles Turner, Gary Trent and Ryan Rollins. Antetokounmpo's next chance to play will come Saturday versus Sacramento.

Antetokounmpo (toe) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Antetokounmpo entered Sunday's matchup listed as probable, so his availability isn't surprising, though it's reassuring to get confirmation that the toe injury won't limit him. The superstar has started the season strong for the Bucks, opening with back-to-back 30-point double-doubles.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Likely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (toe) is listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo continues to nurse a toe injury, but that won't keep him off the floor Sunday. The superstar big man is coming off an incredible performance in the win over the Raptors on Friday, finishing with 31 points, 20 rebounds and seven assists. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by the injury.
Antetokounmpo was in MVP form Friday night, registering 31 points (11-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 20 rebounds, seven assists, one block and five turnovers across 38 minutes in a 122-116 victory over Toronto.
That's two straight, monster, double-doubles for The Greek Freak to begin his 2025-26 campaign, and it was also his second straight game with a triple, which is something he never did last season. We wouldn't want to overreact to a two-game sample size, but he has looked comfortable attempting three-pointers in these early games, so perhaps that will be a larger part of his repertoire this year after he tried just 0.9 triples per contest last season.

Antetokounmpo (back) will play Wednesday against the Wizards, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo was added to the injury report late with a back issue, but he is good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener. The two-time MVP will be relied on heavily this season with his former co-star Damian Lillard out of town, and it may take some time for Antetokounmpo to adjust to playing next to recent acquisition Myles Turner.

Antetokounmpo will again be stuffing the stat sheet as the main man in Milwaukee this upcoming season, so as long as you can tolerate some rough free-throw shooting, he'll make for a solid, first-round fantasy draft selection. Kevin Porter finished Tuesday's game with 15 points, four assists, four triples and four turnovers in 24 minutes.

Antetokounmpo's preseason was delayed due to COVID-19, but he looked to be in mid-season form Sunday, and he can thank his stint at EuroBasket for that. On the court, Antetokounmpo looked to be business as usual, but the rumors of his future with the franchise continue to dominate the headlines.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Non-contact work at camp
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (illness) participated in non-contact work during Saturday's practice, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo had been sitting out of training camp while dealing with COVID-19, but he was able to get his first training camp action Saturday. It appears Antetokounmpo will be ramped up over the coming days, as head coach Doc Rivers suggested the star forward will need about three days before making a full return to unrestricted activity. Antetokounmpo therefore appears highly unlikely to play in Monday's preseason game against the Heat.
