Giannis Antetokounmpo News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Likely to play Saturday Antetokounmpo (kneecap) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Antetokounmpo was able to practice Friday after missing Tuesday's win over Miami due to a left knee effusion. However, it seems as though the left knee effusion is no longer an issue, as the two-time MVP is once again listed with right patella tendinopathy. If things take a turn for the worse for the superstar forward, Bobby Portis and Andre Jackson will likely see an uptick in playing time Saturday.

Practices Friday Coach Doc Rivers said Friday that Antetokounmpo (knee) was able to practice ahead of Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Darius Joshua of CBS 58 News reports.

Impact Antetokounmpo was ruled out of Tuesday's win over Miami due to a left knee effusion, though he is on track for a potential return to game action Saturday. The superstar has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a right adductor strain, a lingering left knee effusion, right patella tendinopathy and a left calf strain. However, Antetokounmpo has missed only two games, and in his last five outings he averaged 30.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.6 blocks across 34.0 minutes per game.
