Giannis Antetokounmpo diagnosed with left Achilles tendinitis, won't play vs. Clippers

Draws spot start Beverley is starting Monday's game against the Clippers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Bucks announced Pat Connaughton as the starter in place of Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles), but as Nehm notes, Beverley is the one who was actually on the floor to start the contest. Both should see plenty of chances Monday with Antetokounmpo sidelined.

Joins starting five Connaughton will start Monday's game against the Clippers while Giannis Antetokounmpo is sidelined due to Achilles tendonitis.

Impact Connaughton has averaged 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists across two prior starts this season. He has attempted six shot attempts in each contest.

Won't play Monday Antetokounmpo (Achilles) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Antetokounmpo attempted to get his sore left Achilles loose in anticipation to play, but he's not quite 100 percent. He cut his pregame routine short, periodically breaking to stretch prior to exiting the floor entirely. The MVP candidate has been banged up for weeks, but he has a good chance to take the court Wednesday versus Golden State.

Will not play Monday Livingston (groin) will not play Monday against the Clippers.

Impact Livingston was initially considered doubtful, so this was expected news. Livingston's absence is unlikely to impact Milwaukee's rotation.

Out for Monday Beauchamp (back) will not play in Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Beauchamp was initially probable, but the Bucks will err on the side of caution. His absence will have a negligible impact on the rotation.

Dealing with groin strain Livingston is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers due to a right groin strain.

Impact Livingston and MarJon Beauchamp (back) were both recalled from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Sunday but are dealing with injuries. However, Beauchamp is expected to play, while Livingston is likely to be sidelined. Even with Khris Middleton (ankle) still out, Livingston's potential absence shouldn't impact Milwaukee's rotation.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back spasms Beauchamp is probable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to lower back spasms.

Impact Beauchamp and Chris Livingston (groin) were both recalled from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Sunday but are dealing with injuries. However, Livingston is unlikely to suit up Monday, while Beauchamp is expected to be available. With Khris Middleton (ankle) still out, there may be depth minutes available for Beauchamp.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Middleton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Coach Doc Rivers said Sunday that Middleton was "pretty doubtful," so it's not surprising to see the veteran remain out for an 11th straight game due to a left ankle sprain. Middleton was able to partially participate in Sunday's practice, but he'll likely have to log a full session before getting game clearance. Jae Crowder continues to start in Middleton's absence, but the former has failed to make a fantasy impression, averaging just 3.8 points in 26.0 minutes since the All-Star break (five games).

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Antetokounmpo is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to left Achilles tendinitis.

Impact Antetokounmpo has been a consistent feature on the injury report due to left knee tendinitis, but his diagnosis of Achilles tendinitis is a new designation. Amid a historically significant season in which he has missed just two games, Antetokounmpo is currently on track to become the first player in NBA history to average over 30.0 points per game while shooting at least 60.0 percent from the field, but his status will need to be monitored in advance of Monday's contest.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Monday Head coach Doc Rivers said Sunday that Middleton (ankle) is "pretty doubtful" for Monday's game against the Clippers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Middleton is currently on track to miss his 11th consecutive game Monday due to a left ankle sprain. The 32-year-old logged an extremely limited practice Sunday, indicating that a full ramp has yet to begin. Jae Crowder has anchored Middleton's spot in the starting lineup, but he's averaging just 3.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 26.0 minutes across five games since the All-Star break.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Called up to Milwaukee Milwaukee recalled Jackson from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Sunday.

Impact Jackson has faded from Milwaukee's rotation of late, compiling just 20 minutes in five appearances over the Bucks' last eight games. The rookie has flashed connective skills and a passable three-point stroke on extremely limited volume, but he remains more of a fill-in candidate than a rotational contributor.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining Milwaukee Milwaukee recalled Livingston from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Sunday.

Impact Livingston, Marjon Beauchamp, and Andre Jackson have all been recalled to Milwaukee on Sunday. The Bucks will next take the court Monday against the Clippers.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to Bucks Milwaukee recalled Beauchamp from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Sunday.

Impact Beauchamp has appeared in four consecutive contests for Milwaukee, but three of his appearances were scoreless. He continues to profile as end-of-bench depth.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double in win Portis finished Friday's 113-97 win over the Bulls with 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 26 minutes.

Impact While it wasn't a stellar shooting night for Portis, he provided solid rebound totals in the win and finished second behind Giannis Antetokounmpo in the category. He's had a nice three-game run with the second unit, averaging 15..3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals over the span.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Below-average total in win Lillard registered 16 points (4-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 113-97 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Llllard was unable to find his shot against the Bulls. Friday marked Lillard's second consecutive game of 20 points or less, and while fantasy managers shouldn't worry themselves too much about the downswing, the veteran is on pace to hit career lows in field goal percentage and three-point percentage.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Dominates with 46 points Antetokounmpo recorded 46 points (16-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 12-16 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 113-97 victory over Chicago.

Impact The Bucks were in control throughout the game, and Antetokounmpo looked effortless against Chicago's defense. His 46-point effort marked his best performance since a 48-point total against Dallas 27 days ago. The All-Star has also recorded double-doubles in seven of his past 10 games.
