Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable for Bucks’ Game with Raptors on January 6th Despite Patella Injury
Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks is dealing with right patella tendinopathy. He is expected to play in the next game against the Toronto Raptors on January 6th. This injury has been bothering him since January 5, but he remains probable to take the court.
What It Means
Antetokounmpo’s presence is crucial for the Bucks. He averages 32.3 points per game this season, which is a key contribution to his team. His shooting percentage stands at an impressive 60.1%. These numbers show how important he is to Milwaukee’s success.
If Giannis cannot play, Tyler Smith might see more minutes as the backup power forward. However, Smith only averages 2 points and plays about 3.5 minutes per game. The Bucks will hope Giannis can stay healthy and continue his strong performance streaks in scoring and rebounds.
