Giannis gives bleak prognosis for calf injury MRI after loss to Nuggets
The hits keep coming for Milwaukee Bucks. They struggled for much of the 2025-26 season, thanks in no small part to that Giannis Antetokounmpo’s injury problems. And on Friday night, in a 102-100 loss to the extremely lowly Denver Nuggets, that reared its ugly head once again, with Antetokounmpo re-aggravating the calf injury that has sidelined him for 15 games to this point in the campaign.
In fact, Antetokounmpo is preparing for the worst. As reported by Eric Nehm of the Athletics, the Bucks star said he will have an MRI tomorrow and expects to be diagnosed due to a strained soleus in his calf, potentially keeping him out for four to six weeks.
This will be such a devastating blow to the Bucks, a team looking to win now given the draft pick obligations they owe to other teams in the coming years.
