Milwaukee Bucks is all set to lock horns against the Miami Heat for the second time in three days as all eyes are on Giannis Antetokounmpo and whether or not he will feature in the contest amid his injury woes. For those of you who aren’t aware – the Greek Freak missed the earlier encounter due to a knee injury.
The two-time MVP has been named questionable to play in the official injury report of the Milwaukee Bucks, and it could be his second consecutive game that he missed due to his left knee soreness.
Moreover, Khris Middleton, the marquee scorer of the Milwaukee Bucks, has also been ruled out of this showdown against the Miami Heat. Furthermore, even veteran Serge Ibaka has been ruled out due to personal reasons. Meaning that Jrue Holiday will once again be responsible for leading the side.
Milwaukee Bucks are not the only team that has been thumped with injuries heading into this contest. Erik Spoelstra’s team is being dragged by Jimmy Butler as the majority of their stars are sidelined. As for the side that reached the 2020 NBA Finals, the usual suspects are still sidelined. This includes Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, Omer Yurtseven, and Nikola Jovic, who have all been listed as out. Kyle Lowry is probable, though, and so is Tyler Herro, who recently saw the birth of his second child.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo potentially out due to injury concerns, will Butler and Gabe Vincent be leading their side past the victory line? Remains to be seen.
