The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here and we learn that superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled doubtful heading into Friday night’s matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, Giannis Antetokounmpo is doubtful for Friday night’s game after suffering a sprained ankle, we take a look at the Bucks’ recent struggles on the defensive end of the floor and much more.
Having left late in the second quarter of the Bucks’ matchup versus the LA Clippers on Wednesday night, there’s been nothing to suggest that Antetokounmpo’s potential absence on Friday night is nothing other than for precautionary reasons. Of course, one would think facing off against a team like the Chicago Bulls makes the decision to hold him out for the night easier, but the Bucks’ recent form suggests otherwise.
Like you can each and every day, keep on coming by here to Behind the Buck Pass to get the latest coverage, analysis and postgame reactions that relates to both the Bucks as well as the Wisconsin Herd.
