Ruled out for Friday
Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Análisis
Antetokounmpo will miss his 10th consecutive contest due to a right calf strain, though the superstar said Saturday that he feels "100 percent" healthy, so perhaps he'll return in the near future. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Toronto. In the meantime, Jericho Sims, Ousmane Dieng and Bobby Portis are candidates for increased minutes.

Deems self '100 percent'
Antetokounmpo (calf) said Saturday that he feels "100 percent" healthy, though he didn't confirm that he'll be cleared to play in the Bucks' next game Friday in New Orleans. "I feel like the [All-Star] break doesn't help, because now I gotta get on the court, I gotta play some 1-on-1, 3-on-3, 5 vs. 5...Once I check all those boxes, I'm ready to go. I feel like I can play a game today."
Análisis
Antetokounmpo has sat out the Bucks' last nine games after straining his right calf for the second time this season Jan. 23, but he told the media Saturday that his rehab is going well and suggested that he could be nearing a return. Though Milwaukee listened to trade offers on Antetokounmpo leading up to the Feb. 5 deadline, the 10-time All-Star ultimately stayed put and isn't expected to be shut down even while the 23-30 Bucks currently sit outside of a spot in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament. Based on his comments, Antetokounmpo appears poised to take part in practice in some capacity this week when the Bucks reconvene following the All-Star break. Even if he isn't cleared to play Friday, Antetokounmpo would still appear likely to make it back in action before the end of February.
