Suffers torn Achilles Antetokounmpo sustained a torn Achilles tendon and is set to undergo surgery, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Antetokounmpo has a long road ahead of him, so there's a decent chance he won't be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season. He's also heading into free agency, and unfortunately, it's unlikely he'll receive many, if any, offers while recovering from one of the most devastating injuries in basketball.

Listed probable for Sunday Antetokounmpo is probable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to left hamstring soreness.

Impact Antetokounmpo hasn't been a regular in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation for most of the campaign.

He's played just 26 total minutes since the beginning of March.

Rare appearance in win Antetokounmpo racked up two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one steal across two minutes during Tuesday's 146-122 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Antetokounmpo shed the tracksuit Tuesday, making a rare appearance in the blowout win. He continues to provide very little to the team other than brotherly love. His fantasy value is non-existent, even in the deepest of leagues.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Receives suspension Antetokounmpo was served a one-game suspension for a flagrant two foul he was assessed on Thursday.

Impact Antetokounmpo headbutted Blake Griffin after being fouled on a shot attempt with a little over one minute to play in the 140-99 loss and was ejected. He was handed a single-game suspension, which means he will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the 76ers. His absence should have minimal effect on Coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation.

Gets playing time in blowout Antetokounmpo logged 12 minutes off the bench in Friday's 144-116 win over the Jazz, finishing with four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one steal.

Impact Antetokounmpo remains outside of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation, but he had the opportunity to play nearly the entire fourth quarter Friday after the Bucks carried a 30-point lead into the final period. The 30-year-old left the team for a few days last week to tend to a personal matter, but now that he's back with the Bucks, he'll see little use in his depth role down the stretch.
