    The Milwaukee Bucks host the Philadelphia 76ers at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Friday.

    The Milwaukee Bucks face off against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

    The Bucks are coming off of a win against the Detroit Pistons and while there is only one major update to Milwaukee's injury report, that new addition is a major one with the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be down two-four weeks with a calf strain. The Bucks have historically struggled without their star forward in the lineup and they'll have to dig deep to adapt without hm.

    For the 76ers, they'll have to work without a major star of their own in the lineup. The 76ers have had a strong 12-9 start to the season and are fresh off a two-game win streak that they'll look to continue against the Bucks.

    Bucks Injury Report

    Giannis Antetokounmpo ( (calf) will be OUT for Friday's game. The Greek Freak will be sidelined for two-four weeks with a right calf strain he suffered against the Pistons. His injury news paired with the rumors that Antetokounmpo is pursuing potential trades with other teams, his tenure with the Bucks could be over by the time he's fully recovered.

    Taurean Prince (neck) remains OUT while recovers from neck surgery. Prince had surgery to repair a herniated disk in his neck in mid-November and will be out indefinitely. 

    Alex Antetokounmpo ( (two-way) will be OUT for Friday's game game as he's on a two-way contract and fulfilling commitments with the G-League.

    Joel Embiid (knee) is OUT for Friday's game while he continues to recover from a left knee injury. Embiid has had nagging trouble in both of his knees and while he appeared in the 76ers last game against the Golden State Warriors, he will have to miss Friday's game to avoid anymore aggravation to his knees. 

    Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will be OUT for Friday's game. Oubre Jr. hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a knee sprain.

    Trendon Watford (groin) remains OUT with a left adductor strain. Watford has been out since Nov. 25 and is due to be re-evaluated by the Philadelphia medical team in roughly a week before a return to the court can be considered. 

    Jared McCain (thumb) will be AVAILABLE for Friday's game. McCain had surgery to repair a ligament in his left thumb in October, and and since returning has been regularly been able to play, but he does wear a splint on his thumb to protect it while he still heals.
