Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing today? Bucks injury report vs
The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Houston Rockets, and their star is on the pregame injury report. Giannis Antetokounmpo dealt left knee patellar tendinopathy problem this season, but was still able to play. Not only was he able to play, but he put up big numbers while doing so. Antetokounmpo is averaging 33.4 points and 12.9 rebounds, and the Bucks needed everything they could get from the star.
It won’t be ideal for them to miss games, but they’ve won without him this season. Against the Rockets, it might be a little more difficult, especially with the talent they have on the other end.
Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Rockets injury status
Antetokounmpo is listed as probable against the Rockets, which basically means he’ll be on the court during the game. For most of his career, Antetokounmpo has stayed relatively healthy, but there have been times late in the season when he has had to miss time, especially in the postseason. This season, the Bucks may need him more than ever, as there is no real No. 2 option next to him.
The Bucks got contributions from several players on offense, and Ryan Rollins is one of those players which intensified. This season, Rollins has averaged 16.7 points and has been the go-to offense for the Bucks when they needed him. When Antetokounmpo didn’t play against the Golden State Warriors, Rollins stepped up and scored 32 points to help them to victory.
If the Bucks want to have success this season, they’ll have to get players to step up like that almost every night to help Antetokounmpo. On another night, Antetokounmpo might not even need help, and he’ll carry the team by himself.
