The Milwaukee Bucks are facing uncertainty regarding their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is dealing with a new injury. The team is set to play their first road game against the Toronto Raptors on October 24, 2023, at the Scotiabank Arena. Both teams come into this matchup with a record of 1-0 after winning their respective season openers.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Injury Status
Giannis is currently on the injury report due to a sprained left big toe. Initially, he was listed as probable for the game against the Raptors. However, he has also been managing soreness in his lower back earlier in the season. Compounding his issues, Giannis experienced a fall during the last game against the Washington Wizards, injuring his right hand and wrist but he continued to play through the injury.
Bucks’ Lineup Changes
For the upcoming game, the Bucks will also be without guard Kevin Porter Jr., who suffered a left ankle sprain in the prior match on October 22. Despite traveling with the team, his condition has led to doubts about his potential return, as noted by head coach Doc Rivers.
Projected Starting Lineup
- Guards: Gary Trent Jr., Ryan Rollins, AJ Green
- Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Center: Myles Turner
