Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't return to Tuesday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. He went down with a non-contact injury in the third quarter and limped to the locker room. At the time, details were scarce surrounding the nature of the ailment. However, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Antetokounmpo suffered a left calf strain. The multi-time MVP has been battling hamstring tendinopathy over the last few weeks. But with a new issue, Antetokounmpo probably will miss time. Of course, he'll likely undergo further testing, with an update potentially coming on Wednesday.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The multi-time MVP has been battling a hamstring injury and wasn't a lock to suit up for this one. However, he was cleared to play. Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo went down with a non-contact injury in the third quarter and limped to the locker room. It's possible he aggravated the hamstring issue. With that in mind, his night could be over, with a more extensive exam likely on the horizon.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (quadriceps) will be available for Tuesday's marquee matchup against the Celtics. He has shaken off a quadriceps injury and also looks to have recovered from a mouth trauma, which limited Middleton to only 13 minutes on Sunday against the Knicks. The three-time All-Star has averaged 13.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists in three priors meetings with Boston this season.
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (hip) is good to go for Tuesday's big matchup against Boston. He was a late addition to the injury report on Tuesday with a probable tag, but Bucks head coach Doc Rivers has said Lillard will play. Patrick Beverley (ankle) is also back, which means a lot fewer minutes for Pat Connaughton. Lillard faces a backcourt full of defensive talent on Tuesday, but he has previously played well against the Celtics this season, averaging 26.7 points with 42.9 percent shooting from deep.
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Boston on Tuesday. The former MVP will be tasked with helping the team end a four-game skid. Antetokounmpo hasn't had a great time against the Celtics this season, settling for only 22.5 points across two games. However, with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) absent for the C's, Boston will be weakened inside the paint, which is where Antetokounmpo does most of his damage.
