Giannis Antetokounmpo Good to Go Against Sacramento

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available on Sunday night against the Kings. The multi-time MVP routinely appears on the injury report, which is never shocking to anyone at this point. However, what's more surprising is he'll now suit up for a fifth-straight contest. All things considered, Antetokounmpo remains a must-start, obviously, and he might be more productive than usual in a meeting with one of the worst defensive clubs in the NBA.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed as Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup against Sacramento, marking his second straight probable designation. Antetokounmpo showed no limitations Friday versus Charlotte, posting 30 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 30 minutes. Since returning from injury, he has averaged 29.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 27.1 minutes over his last four games. Giannis remains a locked-in fantasy anchor, while Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr. continue to benefit from stable spacing and defensive attention drawn inside.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Versus Charlotte

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is clear to suit up for Friday's matchup versus Charlotte. The multi-time MVP was listed on the injury report. However, that's nothing new, with Antetokounmpo in line to appear in his fourth-straight contest. He has faced the Hornets twice throughout the 2025 campaign, averaging 24.5 points, 12.5 assists, 5.5 boards, and 1.5 steals.

Gary Trent Jr. Available Versus Hornets

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will return from a two-game absence on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Trent Jr. recently sustained a calf contusion in a game against the Indiana Pacers, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. During the season, the 26-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup, averaging 9.6 points and 1.6 assists in 26.8 minutes. Unfortunately, Trent Jr. has not provided much fantasy production, and his performances against Charlotte have been even poorer, as he has notched 5.0 points per game across two contests.

Gary Trent Jr. Sits Out Second Straight Game

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will be absent for a second straight game on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran suffered a calf contusion in Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers and landed on the shelf Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Trent Jr. was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's action, so he shouldn't miss too much time. Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) return on Saturday will have a major impact on Milwaukee's rotation, but Trent Jr's absence should guarantee large roles for AJ Green and Ryan Rollins.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Back in Action Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has been officially cleared to play on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. He is ready to end a seven-game absence after the team initially listed Antetokounmpo as questionable on the injury report. The former MVP likely won't see his full workload on Saturday night, but he doesn't need to log heavy minutes to make a fantasy impact. Bobby Portis, Jericho Sims, and Kyle Kuzma are set to lose minutes with Antetokounmpo's return, while Kevin Porter Jr.'s offensive usage might suffer.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Return as Bucks Face Bulls

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls as he works through pregame testing following a right calf strain that has sidelined him since Dec. 3. Antetokounmpo has averaged 28.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists in 29.1 minutes across 17 games this season, anchoring Milwaukee's offensive structure when active. If he returns, usage and frontcourt minutes would tilt back in his direction, narrowing recent workloads for Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma, who have averaged 28.9 and 29.2 minutes, respectively, during his absence. Peripheral contributors such as Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr. would also see reduced involvement.

Gary Trent Jr. Ruled Out For Friday Night Against Memphis

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) has been ruled out for Friday night's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. This will mark the first game that Trent has missed this season. His production has been fairly marginal for Milwaukee, only averaged 9.6 PPG this season amidst a demotion to the bench. In his absence, expect Ryan Rollins to carry a heavier load for Milwaukee's bench. Cole Anthony is also likely to see more minutes, though Rollins is going to be the better option of the two to get into your starting lineups.

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable With Calf Issue

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is questionable to play Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to the team's official injury report. The 26-year-old quickly left Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers with a left calf contusion. Trent has fallen out of Milwaukee's starting lineup recently, with Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, and Ryan Rollins handling the majority of the backcourt minutes. Trent only played 17 minutes in the game before his calf injury. If he's inactive tonight, Gary Harris could see an increase in playing time.

Gary Trent Jr. Limited to Five Minutes Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (calf) played only five minutes in Tuesday's 111-94 win over the Indiana Pacers. He sustained a left calf contusion late in the first quarter. Ryan Rollins and Gary Harris shared Trent Jr.'s minutes on the night, with the former finishing as Milwaukee's second-highest scorer. Rollins posted 23 points on 10-for-15 shooting. Harris contributed only five points and should be ignored by fantasy managers even if Trent Jr. faces a spell on the sidelines.

Cole Anthony Iffy for Thursday's Action

Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony (neck) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The 25-year-old could play a significant part in the rotation against Toronto if he shakes off a neck strain, as AJ Green (shoulder) and Kyle Kuzma (illness) are also iffy for the contest. If both miss the game, Anthony would be in line for extra work. At the same time, Anthony's absence from the lineup would allow Gary Harris to see more action off the bench.

AJ Green • SG • Bucks

AJ Green at Risk of Missing Another Game

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (shoulder) is considered questionable for Thursday's action against the Toronto Raptors. He landed on the shelf a couple of weeks ago with a sprained left AC joint, missing three consecutive games. Kyle Kuzma (illness) has been starting in Green's place, but is now also on the injury report with a questionable tag. The two are joined on the injury report by Cole Anthony (neck), meaning players such as Gary Trent Jr., Gary Harris, and Andre Jackson Jr. could be involved more than usual in the rotation on Thursday night.

Kyle Kuzma • PF • Bucks

Kyle Kuzma Questionable for Thursday Due to Illness

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (illness) has been tagged as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. The 2020 NBA champion is trying to fight off an illness to avoid missing his second game of the season. Due to some lineup issues, including the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), Kuzma has enjoyed a larger role in the rotation recently. He has averaged 18.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 29.0 minutes per game over the last four contests. Kuzma has been starting in place of AJ Green (shoulder), who is also on the injury report with a questionable designation.

Gary Trent Jr. Replaces Jericho Sims in Starting Unit Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. will return to the starting lineup on Thursday against the Boston Celtics, replacing Jericho Sims. Trent Jr. was a regular starter earlier in the campaign but has come exclusively off the bench this month. Sims started each of the last two contests, but the 27-year-old was limited to only 2.0 points per game and had 6.0 rebounds. While Trent Jr. has done a decent job off the bench, his numbers have improved slightly in a starting role this season, jumping to 9.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.

AJ Green Misses Second Consecutive Game

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (shoulder) will sit out Thursday's tilt against the Boston Celtics, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report after Green missed his first game of the season last Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. Kyle Kuzma moved to the starting unit against Detroit, while Gary Trent Jr.'s fantasy stock also receives a boost from Green's absence. Green will get his next chance to return on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets.

AJ Green Iffy for Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (shoulder) is considered questionable for Thursday's Eastern Conference showdown against the Boston Celtics. He is dealing with a shoulder issue and may be absent for a second consecutive game. Green was only a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, which doesn't bode well for his chances to play against Boston. Green has taken a big leap this season, averaging a career-high 11.3 points with 48.5 percent shooting from downtown. He has been a starter in all 24 appearances. With Green unavailable, Kyle Kuzma joined the first unit on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, and one steal. Kuzma will have additional fantasy value again on Thursday if Green can't return.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Miss 2-4 Weeks

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is expected to miss approximately two to four weeks with a calf strain suffered on Wednesday night against the Pistons, according to reports from ESPN's Shams Charania. He only played three minutes before leaving the game, and his absence leaves lots of work for the rest of the roster while he is sidelined. This will be the second time Giannis has been out for an extended period this season. While Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr. will do most of the heavy lifting on offense, there will also be more minutes and opportunities for Bobby Portis, Myles Turner, and Kyle Kuzma. The injury took place on the same day that news broke that he was planning to meet with the team to discuss his long-term future with the team. Those discussions could still happen, but his injury will be tough for the struggling Bucks to navigate. Even though they won the game that he left early, they are still 10-13, barely holding onto the No. 10 spot in the Eastern Conference.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Suffers Calf Injury on Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't return to Wednesday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. He was listed on the injury report but was able to suit up. However, on a day when it was reported that the multi-time MVP was contemplating his future with the franchise, he exited after only three minutes due to a right calf strain. The Bucks don't play again until Friday versus the visiting Philadelphia 76ers. Considering Antetokounmpo recently missed four games because of a groin strain, it's certainly possible he might be looking at more time off the floor. If that happens, Bobby Portis, averaging 18.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in two starts this season, could work his way back into the starting lineup, with Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr. anticipated to do most of the heavy lifting offensively.

Dec 4

Kevin Porter Jr. • PG • Bucks

Kevin Porter Jr. Available on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (back) is available to suit up for Wednesday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Porter exited Monday's loss to the Washington Wizards with lower back spasms. The 25-year-old registered 30 points with 12-for-15 shooting before leaving the game. However, the injury won't keep him out of action for tonight's clash. If Porter has a setback this evening, Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, and Gary Trent Jr. will soak up the available minutes.

Bobby Portis • PF • Bucks

Bobby Portis Available to Play on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (eye) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Portis was a late addition to the injury report due to a left eye injury. He was able to get through warmups without any issues, so he will be available for this contest. Portis has been a less than ideal fantasy option this season. He'll continue to battle with Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims for minutes in the rotation. So far, Portis is averaging 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists across 21.4 minutes per game. He does enough to warrant being used as a streaming option, but he isn't a must-have player in 12-team formats right now.
