14 Nov
Summary
- Giannis Antetokounmpo listed as "probable" for Bucks vs. Hornets game
- Bucks forward Taurean Prince undergoes neck surgery, out indefinitely
- Kevin Porter Jr. remains sidelined with right knee meniscus injury

As of November 14th, 2025, the Milwaukee Bucks are preparing to face the Charlotte Hornets in an NBA Cup game. The Bucks have provided a significant update on their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is listed as "probable" to suit up for the game.
Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a left knee patellar tendinopathy since the start of the season, already missing two games due to the same issue. The two-time league MVP was forced to sit out the Bucks' previous matchup against the Hornets on Wednesday, but it appears he is set to return, barring any last-minute setbacks.
However, the Bucks have also delivered a concerning injury update on veteran forward Taurean Prince. The two-time NBA Cup champion underwent surgery to address a herniated disc in his neck on Thursday and is now ruled out indefinitely.
