The full injury report for Tuesday's game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks.
The Philadelphia 76ers (24-21) are taking on the Milwaukee Bucks (18-26) on Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
The 76ers are desperate to get back in the win column after a 37-point loss to Brandon Miller and the Charlotte Hornets Monday. They have also lost five of their last seven matchups. Meanwhile, the Bucks are also in quite the winning drought, falling short in six of their last eight games.
Here is the full injury report for 76ers-Bucks:
76ERS
Charles Bassey: Doubtful - G League - On Assignment
MarJon Beauchamp: Questionable - G League - Two-Way
Johni Broome: Questionable - G League - On Assignment
Joel Embiid: Questionable - Left Knee; Injury Management
Paul George: Probable - Left Knee; Injury Management
Quentin Grimes: Questionable - Right Ankle; Sprain
Kelly Oubre Jr.: Available - Left Knee; Injury Recovery - Brace
BUCKS
Alex Antetokounmpo: Out - G League - Two-Way
Giannis Antetokounmpo: Out - Right Calf; Strain
Kevin Porter Jr.: Out- Right Oblique Muscle; Strain
Taurean Prince: Out - Neck; Surgery
Antetokounmpo suffered the calf strain in the Bucks' 102-100 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Jan. 23. He played the majority of the game against Denver with his right calf wrapped before exiting with less than a minute before the final buzzer sounded. Bucks coach Doc Rivers told reporters there is no timetable for his return.
“I felt like I couldn’t explode,” Antetokounmpo said after the loss to the Nuggets, per NBA.com. “I could jog. I couldn’t get on my toes, so I was kind of jogging on my heel the majority of the game. I didn’t have the same explosiveness, but I still felt like I could help. At the end, when it popped, I had to get out. I couldn’t walk.”
His absence against the 76ers is huge, as he has carried the Bucks to plenty of unexpected wins this season. He is performing at his usual standard this year, averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists on 64.5% shooting in 30 appearances.
Neither Embiid nor George played in Monday's game against the Hornets, so potentially getting both back in the lineup is major news. Tyrese Maxey may not be forced to play superhero in the midst of his slump, as he can rely a bit more on his fellow stars offensively.
Embiid is on a tear in recent weeks, as he's recorded 30 or more points in his last four appearances. He is seemingly improving with every passing day, so fans should expect another big performance from the seven-time All-Star against the Antetokounmpo-less Bucks if he's able to go.
