Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two-time NBA MVP, is set to play for the Milwaukee Bucks against the Portland Trail Blazers after being listed as probable due to a right patella tendinopathy. Reports confirm that he will be in the lineup for the crucial Saturday matchup, which is significant for the Bucks as they aim to solidify their playoff position.
Alongside Antetokounmpo, former three-time All-Star Khris Middleton and backup shooting guard AJ Green will also be available, providing a boost to the Bucks' roster. However, several young players, including Liam Robbins and Chris Livingston, will miss the game as they continue to develop with the Wisconsin Herd in the NBA G League.
Currently, the Bucks hold the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a record of 17-15, making them heavy favorites against the struggling Trail Blazers, who sit at 11-22. The game is anticipated to tip off at 5 p.m. PT, with Milwaukee looking to take advantage of their home court.
