Giannis Antetokounmpo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is rehabbing daily, but there's some real doubt for his status to begin the first-round series versus the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Although Antetokounmpo has rare recovery ability, he's very much up in the air for Game 1. Antetokounmpo sustained a strained left calf in last Tuesday's win over the visiting Boston Celtics, and early indications suggest he won't be available for the Bucks at the start of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Expect Milwaukee's offense to run through co-superstar Damian Lillard for any games he sits out, as Lillard averaged 29.9 points, 7.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals over eight games without Antetokounmpo this season. Additionally, Bobby Portis averaged 20.8 points, 10.1 boards, 1.7 dimes, 1.2 swipes, and 2.0 threes across eight outings sans the Greek Freak this year.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will miss the rest of the regular season. The multi-time All-Star suffered a calf injury during Tuesday's win over the Boston Celtics and underwent an MRI, revealing a strained Soleus. He'll undergo daily treatment and receive routine evaluations moving ahead. However, it appears there's a chance Antetokounmpo may also miss the postseason or at least part of it. But until he's back in the lineup, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton should see a surge in offensive opportunities. Bobby Portis, who plays well when Antetokounmpo isn't available, could also continue to benefit.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. The 29-year-old went down with a non-contact injury in Tuesday's win over the Celtics. Of course, there was a great deal of concern regarding the injury. However, Antetokounmpo underwent an MRI, which revealed he is dealing with a strained soleus. Milwaukee has two games left before the postseason commences, although things don't look promising regarding his availability. But as far as Wednesday's contest is concerned, Khris Middleton (ankle) is also out to rest. As a result, Damian Lillard, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez are expected to pick up most of the slack. There's also a chance guys like Jae Crowder, AJ Green, Malik Beasley, and Pat Connaughton get more involved.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo has avoided a serious Achilles injury, sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Bucks star strained his calf in Tuesday's clash against Boston, specifically his left soleus, which is a muscle in the back part of the calf. Luckily, tests have revealed that the former MVP avoided damage to his Achilles. His return to court will depend on how quickly he recovers from the calf strain. Milwaukee has three more games left to play in the regular season. Bobby Portis should benefit the most from Antetokounmpo's absence.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) suffered a non-contact injury during Tuesday's win over the Celtics. He was down for a bit before limping his way back to the locker room. While details were scarce initially, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski provided an update, reporting Antetokounmpo suffered a left calf strain. He will undergo an MRI, although DFS managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor on Wednesday versus Orlando. With three regular-season contests left for Milwaukee, the multi-time MVP may not be back until the postseason, at the earliest. However, it's still too early to speculate. With that in mind, as long as Antetokounmpo is on the shelf, Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard should be the Bucks' top offensive contributors. At the same time, Bobby Portis, Malik Beasley, Brook Lopez, and Jae Crowder could see more scoring opportunities.
