Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) remains on the injury report due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee, but he's still considered probable on Friday. The superstar big man played in the All-Star game with no issues and scored 23 points to help the East beat the West.

Since the hiring of Doc Rivers, the Bucks have fallen from the second seed to the third seed in the East and have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games. Antetokounmpo has been performing at a very high level this year but has to bring his teammates up to speed while they head down the stretch. |

Fri Feb 16 | 09:39 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Bags Double-Double In Loss |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo put up a big double-double in an effort to avoid losing to a short-handed Memphis Grizzlies team but ultimately fell short. The former MVP finished with 35 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, and one turnover while shooting 15-for-17 from the floor and 5-for-9 from the charity stripe. He was the only one of the starting five that efficiently scored. While Antetokounmpo only missed two shots, the rest of the starting five went 17-for-49. This was also a strange game in terms of the low rebounding numbers for Antetokounmpo compared to his season average of 11.2 per game. He remains one of the top fantasy options in the league though when removing free throw shooting. |

Wed Dec 27 2023 | 18:25 | Bucks Say Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play Wednesday |
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin says that forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will play on Wednesday versus the Brooklyn Nets. It's great news for the Bucks and fantasy managers alike, as Antetokounmpo will dodge injury maintenance on his right calf and should be licking his chops to take the court against a Nets group without defensive anchor Nicolas Claxton (ankle) in the middle.

Fire up Antetokounmpo with confidence as you normally would in season-long leagues.
