Giannis Nearing Return: Bucks Eye Turnaround
27 Dec
Summary
- Giannis Antetokounmpo is recovering from a Dec. 3 calf strain.
- The Bucks have lost five of their last seven games without him.
- The team's record stands at 12-18 without their star player.
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is progressing well in his recovery from a soleus muscle strain sustained on December 3rd. While still ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, he has begun participating in 3-on-3 scrimmages, indicating a return is on the horizon.
The Bucks have deeply felt Antetokounmpo's absence, slipping to 11th place in the Eastern Conference with a current 12-18 record after losing five of their last seven contests. This downturn highlights the team's reliance on their two-time MVP.
Further complicating matters, Alex Antetokounmpo and Taurean Prince are also sidelined. Gary Trent Jr. is listed as questionable due to a left calf contusion, adding to the team's injury concerns as they prepare for the Friday night matchup.
