Rotowire
Antetokounmpo is probable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a left calf strain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
There are no real surprises here, as Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a calf strain for quite some time but has managed to play through it since the end of the All-Star break.

Antetokounmpo is probable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to a left calf strain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
This calf injury is the same one that has kept Antetokounmpo under a minutes restriction in the Bucks' last two games following the All-Star break, and even though the probable tag suggests the star forward will suit up, he's likely to remain on limited playing time. Antetokounmpo posted 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-11 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 19 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 104-101 victory over the Wizards.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Scores 18 points in 19 minutes
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo chipped in 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-11 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 19 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 104-101 victory over the Wizards.
Antetokounmpo is playing under a minutes restriction after dealing with a calf injury earlier this month, and the 19 minutes he logged Friday represented a season-low mark for him. The star forward made the most of his minutes, though, and he posted an impressive stat line considering the limited playing time he saw. It remains to be seen if the minutes restriction will be lifted when the Bucks take on the Heat on Sunday, but Antetokounmpo should suit up either way for that contest.

However, head coach Doc Rivers said that the superstar will remain limited Friday, meaning he'll likely continue to hover around the 25-minute mark, per Eric Nehm of The Athletic. Over his last five outings, the two-time MVP has averaged 32.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 33.6 minutes per contest.
