Giannis Antetokounmpo's state of play vs. the Magic
As previously mentioned, Giannis Antetokounmpo will be on the sidelines for Sunday's Bucks game vs. the Magic, having been officially listed out due to right calf injury management. It remains to be seen whether resting Antetokounmpo due to injury management will be a routine for the Bucks as the regular season comes to an end. Their postseason hopes are currently on life support after last week's loss against the Atlanta Hawks.
Joining Antetokounmpo on the injury report is Kyle Kuzma, who is questionable with a thoracic spine injury. Kevin Porter Jr. will be out with right knee synovitis, as will Taurean Prince with a neck injury.
For the Magic, Anthony Black is listed as questionable with a lower back sprain, while Jonathan Isaac is also questionable with a knee sprain. Jess Richardson is doubtful with lower back spasms, while Franz Wagner is out as he recovers from an ankle injury.
The Bucks surprised many with their decision to retain Antetokounmpo during last month's NBA trade deadline. The star was sidelined with a calf injury at the time, and has played in three games since his return. It remains to be seen if they plan to keep Antetokounmpo long-term, or if they were waiting for better offers in the upcoming offseason.
In any case, the Bucks and Magic are scheduled to tip off on Sunday at 8:00 PM ET.
