The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Denver Nuggets tonight at the Ball Arena. It is set to be an intriguing encounter but the injuries on both ends could spoil the show. Nuggets' star Center Nikola Jokic has been ruled out of tonight's game, which is a big psychological boost to the Bucks, but will they be able to field a full-strength side? Less intricately, will Giannis Antetokounmpo play tonight? As Giannis holds a vital place in the Bucks squad, it is imperative to know his status for the game. Thus, let's take a look at the Milwaukee Bucks' injury report to draw clarity on the subject.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed in the injury report released by the Bucks ahead of the game against the Nuggets. He is marked "out" for the game due to a foot injury. Thus, the Bucks will have to face the dominant Nuggets without their star scorer.
Antetokounmpo's impact can be gauged from the exceptional numbers he has been delivering consistently. The power forward is averaging 30.2 points, 12 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. Thus, words could not express how crucial his absence could turn out to be for the Milwaukee Bucks.
