Given that Sunday’s game against the Bucks is the second night of a back-to-back, it’s possible that Antetokounmpo will be able to suit up and play. He had been dealing with a calf injury that kept him out for 15 consecutive games before making his return in early March.
Antetokounmpo has been limited to only 35 games so far this season due to injury. He’s been averaging 27.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.0 steals with splits of 62.8 percent shooting from the field, 33.3 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 64.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line.
