Won't be rushed to return
Head coach Doc Rivers said the Bucks won't rush Antetokounmpo back to the court, and he expects him to need closer to four weeks to recover from his strained right calf, Jamal Collier of ESPN reports.
Analyse
Antetokounmpo was initially given a loose timetable of two-to-four weeks, but it sounds like it'll be closer to the four-week mark. "I feel like we should learn is with calves -- make sure they're healthy," Rivers said before Friday's game against the Sixers. "So that may take longer than we want. That even may make Giannis frustrated over it, but we just got to try to get that right." The good news is that due to the NBA Cup, the Bucks have only seven games over the next three weeks. Jericho Sims, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis are candidates for increased minutes with Antetokounmpo sidelined.

Out 2-4 weeks
Antetokounmpo (calf) is expected to be sidelined for two-to-four weeks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports Thursday.
Analyse
An MRI taken Wednesday night confirmed a right calf strain for Milwaukee's franchise player. The Bucks have ruled out any concerns with Antetokounmpo's Achilles, so the franchise will be able to breathe a bit following this news. If Antetokounmpo is able to return at the front end of this timetable, he would miss at least five games. However, it's likely that the team proceeds with extreme caution, given the nature of this injury and his murky future with the team. In the meantime, guys like Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims will have an opportunity to step up.

Set to undergo MRI
Antetokounmpo is set to undergo an MRI on his injured right calf Wednesday night, but head coach Doc Rivers believes that the Bucks' medical staff has ruled out an Achilles injury, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
The early diagnosis of Antetokounmpo's injury is a "calf strain," but we'll have a better understanding of exactly what he's dealing with after the MRI results are released. The good news is that Antetokounmpo appears to have avoided a much more serious Achilles injury, but a calf strain can still result in a multi-game absence. If Antetokounmpo does need to miss some games, it'll be Kevin Porter and Ryan Rollins running the show on offense, and there will be more minutes available for guys like Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma.

Won't return Wednesday
Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Detroit due to a right calf strain, the team announced.
Analyse
Antetokounmpo went down with a non-contact injury that is currently being called a right calf strain. The superstar forward will likely continue to undergo testing leading up to Friday's game against Philadelphia. Antetokounmpo logged two points (2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over three minutes before exiting. Look for Bobby Portis, Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims to take on larger roles while Antetokounmpo is sidelined.

Heads to locker room
Antetokounmpo limped back to the locker room after sustaining an apparent non-contact leg injury during Wednesday's matchup versus Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Antetokounmpo began to run back on defense and quickly went down to the floor in visible pain. The injury appeared to be to his right leg, but specifics are uncertain at this point. While Antetokounmpo is off the floor, Bobby Portis, Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims could see more minutes.

Cleared to play Wednesday
Antetokounmpo (groin) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Analyse
Antetokounmpo will shake off yet another probable tag ahead of this contest. He was in the headlines for other reasons Wednesday, with ESPN's Shams Charania reporting that Milwaukee's franchise player is going to meet with the front office in the coming weeks to discuss his future with the team amidst Milwaukee struggling to open the season.
2. Dezember 2025
Expected to play Wednesday
Antetokounmpo (adductor) is probable for Wednesday's game against Detroit.
Analyse
The Bucks continue to monitor the health of their franchise centerpiece, who missed some time with an adductor strain recently. Antetokounmpo has averaged 30.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest across 16 games this season.
1. Dezember 2025
Good to go Monday
Antetokounmpo (adductor) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards.
Analyse
No surprise here, as the superstar forward was probable for Monday's action. Antetokounmpo has averaged 30.9 points, 10.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest in 15 games this season, though he hasn't yet reached the 30-minute marker in either of his last two games since returning from an extended absence with an adductor strain.
30. November 2025
Probable for Monday
Antetokounmpo (injury management) is probable for Monday's game against the Wizards.
Analyse
Antetokounmpo is likely to play Monday as the Bucks manage his availability due to a left adductor strain. Over two appearances following a four-game absence due to the adductor injury, the two-time MVP has averaged 29.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 23.5 minutes per contest.

Scores 29 points in win
Antetokounmpo posted 29 points (12-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 19 minutes in Saturday's 116-99 win over the Nets.
Analyse
Antetokounmpo delivered one of his most dominant performances of the season in terms of efficiency, missing just three shots from the field and needing fewer than 20 minutes to score 29 points. He seems completely healthy from the thigh injury that sidelined him for four games between Nov. 20 and Nov. 26. In his two games since returning to the hardwood, Antetokounmpo has made 22 of his 29 shots from the floor, as well as going 14-for-22 from the charity stripe.
