The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Indiana Pacers tonight at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Bucks will enter with the weight of enduring two defeats in a row and would be looking to return to the winning ways. However, it would be a daunting side as the Pacers are almost identical to the Bucks in the league standings. Both the teams would be desperate for a win. The good news is that one of the team's losing run will end today, which would come as a hard to digest fact for the one who will eventually end up on the losing end tonight. The Bucks will have a trump card in the squad, and should he fire then he will pose all the problems for the Pacers. Thus, ahead of the start of the game, let's take a peek at Milwaukee's injury report to figure out whether Giannis Antetokounmpo will play tonight or not.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Injury Report

Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed in the injury report released by the Milwaukee Bucks before tonight's contest against the Pacers. He is marked as "probable" due to a calf injury. Therefore, courtesy of the injury issue he may or may not feature tonight.

Bucks fans would hope that Giannis will brush aside the injury and come out on the court to contribute to the team. The forward has been firing on all cylinders lately and his formidable statistics- 30.9 points and 12 rebounds per game- reflect how dominant he has been this season. 

His presence always proves to be vital for the Bucks and his absence hurts the team. Nothing is concrete at the moment, however, based on the fact that he has been regular throughout the season, he may play tonight.
