MILWAUKEE — Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be participating in the upcoming game on Sunday when the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the fourth consecutive game he will miss, as he is currently dealing with tightness in his left calf.

On Saturday evening, the Bucks released an injury report confirming Antetokounmpo’s absence for the game. His last appearance on the court was a notable performance where he scored 30 points during a game against the Memphis Grizzlies on February 2, which resulted in a 132-119 defeat for the Bucks. Just this past week, he missed one game due to an issue with right patella tendinopathy, and this will be the third game he has sat out because of his ongoing calf concern.

Meanwhile, the 76ers have their own injury situation to monitor, as center Joel Embiid is listed as questionable ahead of the matchup. Embiid, the MVP of the 2022-23 season, has been managing a left knee ailment that sidelined him for an entire month. He recently returned to action on Tuesday after missing a significant stretch of 15 games.

Both teams are hoping to have their star players back and healthy, as injuries continue to play a significant role in the dynamics of the league this season. The Bucks aim to maintain their competitive edge while dealing with Antetokounmpo’s recovery, as they look to make a push in the standings.
