Tue Jun 306:41Giannis Antetokounmpo Reportedly Interested in Joining Raptors
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo has been linked with a move to the Toronto Raptors. "I don't know if it will happen but I do know there is mutual interest between Antetokounmpo and the Raptors," writes Raptors insider Doug Smith in his mailbag column for the Toronto Star. "The wild card is the cost. But I also think the Raptors are uniquely placed to make an attractive offer that won't ruin their franchise or roster." Antetokounmpo's future in Milwaukee is murky following the team's three consecutive first-round exits in the playoffs. With ESPN's Brian Windhorst recently mentioning that the Raptors are looking for a "big fish" this summer, Antetokounmpo's potential move to north of the border may not be as far-fetched as it seems. Antetokounmpo will turn 31 next season, but the two-time MVP shows no signs of slowing down and should once again be among the first names off the draft board in fantasy leagues this fall.

Tue May 2008:11Bucks "Hopeful" Giannis Antetokounmpo Won't Request Trade
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo has experienced three consecutive first-round exits with the team and is reportedly considering his future with the club. He is scheduled to meet with the team this week to discuss his future. NBA insider Marc Stein has reported that the Bucks remain "hopeful" that Antetokounmpo won't request a trade. Antetokounmpo has spent his entire NBA career in Milwaukee, where he has become a two-time MVP and nine-time All-Star. However, he will turn 31 in December, and personal accolades seem to be secondary for him at this stage of his career, with Antetokounmpo focused on winning another championship. Even if he moves on, Antetokounmpo will remain among the top producers in fantasy basketball, and there should still be plenty of juice left in him.

Wed Apr 3009:38Giannis Antetokounmpo Logs Massive Triple-Double In Game 5
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a special line in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers, but his team was eliminated from the playoffs with a 119-118 overtime defeat. Antetokounmpo posted his fourth career postseason triple-double with 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 13 assists, while collecting two steals and two blocks on the defensive end. He finished with 9-for-17 shooting and had an 11-for-17 record at the line. Throughout the entire postseason, Antetokounmpo averaged 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, and 6.6 assists, but the Bucks were still dumped out in the first round for the third consecutive year. The team has won only one playoff series since its 2021 championship run, which must be very frustrating for Antetokounmpo. The two-time MVP began to draw links with the San Antonio Spurs this week, and his partnership with Victor Wembanyama would certainly be something extremely unique.

Wed Apr 2309:33Giannis Antetokounmpo Posts Big Double-Double In Game 2 Loss
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo led all players with 34 points and 18 rebounds on Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers, but still had to leave the court on the losing side as the Bucks were defeated 123-115. Milwaukee had Damian Lillard back in the lineup, but he contributed only 14 points on 4-for-13 shooting, and the team continued to rely heavily on Antetokounmpo on the offensive end. He finished with 14-for-20 shooting from the field and went 6-for-10 with his free throws. Antetokounmpo also had seven assists and one block in the game. The Bucks are now 2-0 down in the first-round series, despite Antetokounmpo averaging 35.0 points and 15.0 rebounds. He will need more support in the upcoming home games.

Sat Apr 1215:07Giannis Antetokounmpo Not Expected To Play On Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday's rematch against the Pistons. Milwaukee is locked into the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, so the multi-time All-Star will likely sit this one out after producing a 32-point, 15-assist, 11-rebound triple-double in the win over Detroit on Friday night. Bobby Portis (rest) and Brook Lopez (rest) also won't suit up, so the team will lack size underneath the rim. Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is probable, meaning there's a good chance he gets some action at the four and five spots. Chris Livingston and Pete Nance could also see plenty of minutes and scoring opportunities, especially with Kevin Porter Jr. (wrist), ... [More]

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) will be available to play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Doc Rivers told reporters that the former MVP is suiting up and ready to go.

Fri Apr 1117:19Giannis Antetokounmpo Considered Probable Against Pistons
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) remains on the injury report but has been tagged as probable for the Friday night showdown with the Detroit Pistons. Currently, the Bucks are ahead in the season series after beating the Pistons twice, but their final two games are both against each other. That means Antetokounmpo and company will need all hands on deck to make sure they stay in the fifth seed. If, for some reason, Antetokounmpo doesn't end up playing, Bobby Portis would likely move into the starting five.

Thu Apr 1018:32Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Against New Orleans
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) will suit up for Thursday's matchup with the Pelicans. The multi-time All-Star has appeared on the injury due to numerous injuries throughout the year. But, this time, he's listed because of an illness. With that said, the Pelicans are shorthanded, so Antetokounmpo may ride the bench more than usual if the score gets out of hand. If that's the case, Bobby Portis, who recently returned from a lengthy suspension, could be spending even more time on the floor.

Thu Apr 1009:09Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable To Suit Up Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is considered probable for Thursday's clash against the New Orleans Pelicans. After helping Milwaukee to a remarkable comeback victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, Antetokounmpo is back on the injury report with a shoulder issue. Nevertheless, he is expected to be in the lineup. The two-time MVP has recorded triple-doubles in each of his last three appearances and can establish a new career-high for a single season if he posts another one over the final few games of the campaign. He is currently on 10 triple-doubles through 65 outings, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Bucks are expected to have Antetokounmpo back in the lineup after he missed Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans with a minor knee issue. The game marked the second leg of a back-to-back, so the team was likely just managing Antetokounmpo's workload. Antetokounmpo has recorded triple-doubles in each of his last two outings, including a historic 35-17-20 stat line in a victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Sat Apr 519:07Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play On Saturday Night
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play on Saturday versus the Heat. The foot sprain continues to be an issue. Fortunately, it won't be enough to keep the multi-time All-Star off the floor. Of course, Antetokounmpo is always a must-start in any redraft format. On the other hand, he's averaged only 24 points in two meetings with Miami this season, so DFS managers might have a tough time getting a return on their investment.

Thu Apr 308:46Giannis Antetokounmpo Likely To Suit Up Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is likely to play on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers, as the team lists him as probable on the injury report. Antetokounmpo missed a matchup against the Denver Nuggets last week, but this is his only absence since the All-Star break. The Bucks need wins on the board, and Antetokounmpo must play to get them, especially with Damian Lillard (calf) unavailable. Antetokounmpo has scored at least 30 points in each of his last five appearances, picking up three double-doubles during that stretch. Last time out against the Phoenix Suns, he reached a double-double with assists, finishing a 133-123 win with 37 points, five boards, 11 dimes, one block, and three steals.

Tue Apr 118:00Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play On Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play against the Suns on Tuesday night. It's not uncommon to see the two-time MVP listed on the injury report. But as has been the case for most of the 2024-25 campaign, he was listed as probable, so fantasy managers expected to have him in the lineup. Antetokounmpo had 31 points, 10 rebounds, and five rebounds in his only matchup against Phoenix this season. However, he won't have to deal with Kevin Durant (ankle) and possibly Royce O'Neale (illness) this time around.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is probable to play on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. The Greek superstar remains on the injury report with a foot sprain, but he will likely suit up for Tuesday's contest. The injury does not appear to limit Antetokounmpo in any way, as he has notched 30-plus points in four consecutive outings. Antetokounmpo's scoring numbers dipped slightly in March, but his recent performances show that he has started to build up momentum again ahead of the postseason.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play on Sunday versus Atlanta. It's common to see him listed on the Injury Report for one reason or another.

With that said, the multi-time All-Star has averaged 29.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals in three meetings with the Hawks this season. While he's always a must-start in any redraft format, his DFS value is higher on Sunday, especially with Damian Lillard (illness) sidelined.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will suit up for Friday's contest against the New York Knicks. The former MVP has battled a foot sprain lately and missed Wednesday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets.

Milwaukee is also without Damian Lillard (calf), which should lead to Kyle Kuzma, Gary Trent Jr., and Kevin Porter Jr. taking on larger roles. Antetokounmpo will have his first chance to return on Friday night against the New York Knicks.

Wed Mar 2609:45Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable For Wednesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets. After battling a knee and calf issue throughout the season, Antetokounmpo is now on the injury report due to a left foot sprain. He may exit the lineup following 18 consecutive appearances. Damian Lillard (calf) is already out, so the Bucks would be in big trouble if Antetokounmpo also won't be available. Kyle Kuzma and Gary Trent Jr. would need to contribute more on the offensive end. The latter may take Antetokounmpo's spot in the starting unit, with Kuzma moving over to the power forward position.

Mon Mar 2411:15Giannis Antetokounmpo Likely To Play On Monday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) remains on the injury report as usual but he's considered probable on Monday and should play against the Phoenix Suns. The former MVP will likely be the team's focal point once again with Damian Lillard (calf) ruled out. In their last game against the Sacramento Kings with Lillard sidelined, Antetokounmpo finished with 32 points, 17 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and only two turnovers while shooting 12-for-20 from the floor. Look for him to have another big game against the Suns who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA (26th in Defensive rating).
