As of November 13th, 2025, the Milwaukee Bucks have downgraded their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo from questionable to out for their upcoming road game against the Charlotte Hornets. The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player is dealing with a left knee injury, specifically patellar tendinopathy.
Antetokounmpo, who leads the league in several key statistical categories, last played on Monday, scoring 30 points and contributing 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks, and 1 steal in a narrow 116-114 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. However, the Bucks have now ruled him out for Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets due to the persistent knee issue.
The Bucks will face the Hornets again on Friday in Milwaukee and then host the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Antetokounmpo's absence will be a significant blow for the team as they navigate this crucial stretch of games. The 30-year-old All-Star has been a driving force for the Bucks, leading the NBA in scoring, field goals, and free-throw attempts per game.
