Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard Listed as Questionable for Upcoming Game
Two of the NBA's biggest stars, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, have been listed as questionable for their upcoming matchup on Wednesday night. Antetokounmpo is dealing with a right knee issue, while Lillard is nursing a left calf strain.
Antetokounmpo's Knee Injury
Antetokounmpo suffered his knee injury during the Bucks' 116-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. He played through the pain and finished the game with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, but he was clearly limited in his mobility.
The Bucks are hoping that Antetokounmpo will be able to play on Wednesday night, but they are also preparing for the possibility that he will be out. If Antetokounmpo is unable to play, it will be a major blow to the Bucks, who are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Lillard's Calf Strain
Lillard suffered his calf strain during the Trail Blazers' 113-103 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. He played through the pain and finished the game with 25 points and 10 assists, but he was clearly not at his best.
The Trail Blazers are hopeful that Lillard will be able to play on Wednesday night, but they are also preparing for the possibility that he will be out. If Lillard is unable to play, it will be a major blow to the Trail Blazers, who are currently the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.
