The Milwaukee Bucks were without their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, during their recent loss to the Charlotte Hornets with a score of 100-111. The franchise is 7th in the Eastern Conference with a 7-5 record. The Bucks are set to meet the Hornets again, and this time, in the NBA Cup, which is a part of an in-season tournament.
Antetokounmpo was given a rest as he suffered left knee patellar tendinopathy. In his absence, Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting, going 4 for 6 on 3-pointers. However, this couldn't save the Bucks from an embarrassing loss. It seems like the Greek star is much needed for the rematch between the two teams as the Bucks try to take revenge. Will he be available against the Hornets on November 14?
Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing in Bucks vs Hornets on Nov 14?
According to Bucks' official announcement of the medical injury report, Antetokounmpo has been listed “probable” for the match against the Hornets on November 14.
The power forward’ injury is not considered severe. He was limited to contact basketball by the Bucks' medical staff. It might be possible that the franchise limits his playing time on the court. The 30-year-old NBA player is expected to be available for the match unless he experiences any unforeseen symptoms ahead of the game.
Meanwhile, in their recent loss to the Hornets, Miles Bridges recorded 20 points while Ryan Kalkbrenner had 17 points on 8-for-8 field goal shooting. Following the win, the franchise was able to snap its three-game losing streak. Collin Sexton and Kon Knueppel each added 16 points for the stunning victory.
