Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miss Fourth Straight Game Against 76ers Due to Calf Injury
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will be sidelined for the fourth consecutive game as he continues to manage tightness in his left calf. The injury, detailed in the Bucks' official injury report released Saturday night, comes on the heels of Antetokounmpo's previous absence due to right patella tendinopathy. This marks a significant development for the Bucks as they prepare to face the Philadelphia 76ers.
Antetokounmpo last played on February 2, when he scored 30 points in a 132-119 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. His impact on the court is vital for Milwaukee, and without him, the team seeks to maintain its competitive edge. In addition to Antetokounmpo's absence, 76ers center Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for the upcoming game as he deals with a knee issue, further adding to the intrigue of this matchup.
