Giannis Antetokounmpo Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. The former MVP continues to manage a calf injury and didn't play on Sunday against Orlando as Milwaukee completed a back-to-back set. Since returning to action this month, Antetokounmpo has averaged 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 26.3 minutes. With him back in the fold, Jericho Sims will be bumped to the bench on Tuesday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't be in the lineup on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. He will sit out the second game of a back-to-back after tallying 27 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, and four steals in 27 minutes in Saturday's win over Utah. Bobby Portis is the most likely candidate to start in Antetokounmpo's spot. Across nine previous starts this season, Portis has averaged 15.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. Antetokounmpo's absence could also increase responsibilities for Kyle Kuzma (back), though he is considered questionable for Sunday's game.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is active for Monday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. The two-time MVP will return after missing 13 consecutive contests due to a right calf strain. Given the extended absence, he will likely operate under a minutes restriction during his first game back. Still, it shouldn't take long for Antetokounmpo to regain his usual form. In 30 appearances this season, he has averaged 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists while shooting a career-best 39.5% from three-point range. Even with a capped workload on Monday, fantasy managers should expect his production to trend back towards an elite level in the coming games.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) stated he feels ready to play. "I feel good. I feel 100 percent," reported the two-time MVP while speaking to the media during All-Star festivities on Saturday. "I'm ready to go. I feel like I can play a game today." Antetokounmpo acknowledged that he still has some "boxes" to check as it relates to working his way back from multiple right calf injuries. However, once players return from vacation, he'll be able to ramp up his activity level. The 31-year-old continues to put up MVP-caliber numbers, averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 boards, 5.6 assists, and a career-high 39.5% shooting from downtown in 30 appearances this season. At this rate, it's realistic to assume he'll be back on the floor before the end of February, barring a setback. In the meantime, Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins are expected to do most of the heavy lifting offensively. Ousmane Dieng, producing a double-double with six assists and four blocks in Thursday's win over OKC, also figures to remain in line for more action.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo was the biggest name on the market this year at the NBA Trade Deadline, but it looks like the perennial All-Star will stay in Milwaukee for the rest of the season. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Bucks have indicated to teams that they are keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo through the trade deadline. Ultimately, it seems the team is convinced they can get more for their superstar by trading him after the season, when teams have more assets available. Giannis has been sidelined by a calf injury, and he will now be in a tricky situation in which the team would likely rather improve its draft stock by resting him, but he'll be looking to return and compete to raise his offseason value. The Bucks and other teams in talks for Giannis have begun making other deals before the deadline, which indicates the star won't be on the move, at least until this coming offseason, when the rumor mill will get fired back up again.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis will take Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) spot in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will likely be the first of several consecutive starts for Portis, as Antetokounmpo is set to miss multiple weeks with a calf strain. Across his previous six starts this season, Portis has produced 16.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game. Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, and Myles Turner will join Portis in the first unit on Tuesday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doesn't have a timetable for his return, head coach Doc Rivers said on Monday. The former MVP suffered a right calf strain on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets. After the game, Antetokounmpo said he expects to miss 4-6 weeks. The same injury sidelined Antetokounmpo for most of December, when he sat out eight games. Milwaukee also recently lost Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique), leaving the team without its two top scorers. The rest of the team must now step up offensively, while Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma are likely to see more playing time due to Antetokounmpo's absence.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) finished Friday despite discomfort but is set for imaging after appearing limited late in a 102-100 loss. The timeline remains unclear, adding short-term risk for fantasy managers given his prior calf absence earlier this season. If Antetokounmpo misses time, Bobby Portis profiles as a strong streamer after averaging 16.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes during the previous absence. Kyle Kuzma brings steady volume at 16.4 points and 6.7 rebounds in 30.4 minutes, while Ryan Rollins offers upside with 14.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.9 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes.

The big man's minutes have been restricted recently, but he has still produced outstanding numbers. During his last six outings, Antetokounmpo has averaged 29.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per contest.
