Overview
- Antetokounmpo took shots after the Bucks’ shootaround in Minneapolis and was seen in practice drills this weekend, yet he remained listed as out and did not play in a 103-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
- The right calf strain suffered on Dec. 3 continues to sideline him, with the initial 2–4 week estimate stretching toward 4–6 weeks, according to recent reporting.
- Milwaukee’s slide continued to 11-18 with a third straight defeat, underscoring how much production the team has lost without its leading scorer and playmaker.
- A brief handshake and hug with Anthony Edwards circulated widely on social media, fueling fan speculation, though reporting notes no evidence of mutual interest despite outside teams monitoring scenarios.
- Giannis has publicly said he is locked in on returning to health and has not asked for a trade, while coverage portrays the Bucks’ front office as pursuing upgrades rather than exploring a move for their star.
