Giannis Antetokounmpo Ramps Up Workouts but Stays Sidelined as Bucks’ Skid Continues

Milwaukee is keeping a strict, medical-first plan in place that leaves his return date unresolved.

Overview

  • Antetokounmpo was spotted taking shots after the Bucks’ shootaround in Minneapolis, a practice sighting reported by The Athletic’s Eric Nehm and shared by the team.
  • He remained listed as out and did not play against the Timberwolves, a game Milwaukee lost 103-100 to fall to 11-18 with a third straight defeat.
  • The two-time MVP has been out since Dec. 3 with a right calf strain suffered on a non-contact play against the Pistons, and the team has not issued a firm timetable.
  • Before the injury, he averaged 28.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists over 17 games with elite efficiency, underscoring the impact of his absence.
  • Trade chatter around his future has resurfaced during the Bucks’ struggles, with outlets noting no trade demand and characterizing Milwaukee as buyers in the market.
