Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo will end up missing both games of the Bucks' back-to-back set over the weekend due to left calf soreness. He's averaged just 5.1 minutes per game in March, but he could see more playing time down the stretch once fully healthy, given Milwaukee's injury-riddled roster and the fact that they have been eliminated from postseason contention. Antetkounmpo's next chance to play is Tuesday against the Mavericks.

Bucks' Thanasis Antetokounmpo: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Antetokounmpo missed Saturday's game due to left calf soreness, though he has a chance to make his return for the second leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set Sunday. He's averaged just 5.1 minutes per game in March, but with Milwaukee eliminated from playoff contention, Antetokounmpo could see a bump in minutes over the final games of the regular season, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up.

Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Bucks' Thanasis Antetokounmpo: Under the weather
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.
Antetokounmpo's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday, but his status will be confirmed closer to the 3:30 p.m. ET tip-off. He's appeared in 11 of the Bucks' last 19 games but hasn't played more than five minutes in any of those outings, with most of his play coming in garbage time.
Antetokounmpo finished with seven points (2-3 FG, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal across five minutes during Saturday's 124-112 loss to Detroit.
Antetokounmpo appeared for just the ninth time this season and didn't check into the game until 4:46 remained in the contest. Every one of his appearances have come during garbage time, so Antetokounmpo doesn't look like he'll be in line for a regular spot in the rotation even while younger brother Giannis faces a multi-week absence due to a calf strain.
Bucks' Thanasis Antetokounmpo: Inks deal with Milwaukee
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million contract with the Bucks on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Antetokounmpo will rejoin the Bucks after missing the 2024-25 campaign due to a torn Achilles tendon that required surgery in May 2024. The 33-year-old forward last played for Milwaukee in the 2023-24 season, during which he averaged 0.9 points across 4.6 minutes per game in 34 regular-season appearances. He should continue to provide emergency depth for the club in 2025-26.
Bucks' Thanasis Antetokounmpo: Suffers torn Achilles
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo recently sustained a torn Achilles' tendon and is set to undergo surgery in the near future, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo has a long road ahead of him, with the recovery timeline from Achilles surgery for basketball players typically ranging from 9-to-12 months before a return to game action. His upcoming Achilles procedure will prevent him from competing alongside younger brother Giannis with the Greek national team in July in the pre-Olympic qualifying tournament, and he'll likely be in line to miss most, if not all, of the 2024-25 NBA season. The 31-year-old Antetokounmpo, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, averaged 4.6 minutes per game over 34 appearances in 2023-24.
Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Magic.
Antetokounmpo will be available to provide depth in Milwaukee's frontcourt should head coach Doc Rivers ultimately call for it. However, that would presumably only be the case if the game gets out of hand in either direction.

Bucks' Thanasis Antetokounmpo: Listed as probable for Sunday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo is probable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to left hamstring soreness.
Antetokounmpo hasn't been a regular in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation for most of the campaign. It's unlikely he'll see a prominent role in the final game of the regular season as the Bucks aim to claim the second seed in the Eastern Conference. He's played just 26 total minutes since the beginning of March.
