Milwaukee Bucks Upgrade Giannis Antetokounmpo's Status The Milwaukee Bucks provided an update on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s condition ahead of their matchup against the Boston Celtics on March 2, marking the first time since his right calf injury on January 23 that his status was officially listed as questionable. The team indicated Antetokounmpo would need to complete his full pregame routine without complications to be considered for the game. This update comes as the Bucks prepare for a contest at Fiserv Forum following a loss to the Chicago Bulls the previous night. Antetokounmpo’s injury history has been a significant concern this season. The 31-year-old star initially strained his left adductor on November 17, missing four games from November 20 to 26. He returned to play under a minute restriction but then suffered his first calf strain on December 3, leading to an eight-game absence from December 5 to 26. Despite returning under a minute restriction again, Antetokounmpo has not been fully healthy since November 15. The Bucks have relied heavily on Kevin Porter Jr. to fill the void during Antetokounmpo’s absence. Porter has been a key contributor, helping the team maintain competitiveness without their star player. However, the team’s performance has fluctuated, with a 15-15 record when Antetokounmpo played any minutes and an 11-18 mark without him. Antetokounmpo’s return to full health has been a focal point for the Bucks. In his 12 fully healthy games from October 22 to November 15, he posted impressive numbers: 63% field goal shooting, averaging 32.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game. Even under a minute restriction, he maintained a strong efficiency, shooting 65.9% while averaging 24.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 0.#milwaukee_bucks #fiserv_forum #giannis_antetokounmpo #chicago_bulls #kevin_porter_jr
