Giannis Antetokounmpo’s final injury status for Grizzlies vs Bucks

The Memphis Grizzlies fell short to the Brooklyn Nets last night with a final score of 119-106. In a game that featured a strong performance from Jaren Jackson Jr., who managed 30 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals on 83/100/70 shooting splits. Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, both Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane were left out of the game due to injuries and have been ruled out of today’s game against the Bucks.

With little time to rest and recover, the Grizzlies return to action tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks, who also have quite a few players on the roster – most notably Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo. While Middleton remains out of action, Antetokounmpo has been upgraded to available for tonight’s game.

Via @eric_nehm: “Bucks coach Doc Rivers tells reporters Giannis Antetokounmpo will be available tonight.”

Antetokounmpo has had strong performances against the Grizzlies in the past. Averaging 22.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists on 54.4/23.8/73.7 shooting in just 20 games. Giannis will look to continue his hot streak tonight against the Grizzlies

The Grizzlies will look to get their record back to .500 tonight and break their current two-game losing streak in front of their home crowd. Tonight also marks the end of a four-game homestand and the Grizzlies would love to hit the road with the win in hand.

The Memphis Grizzlies and the Milwaukee Bucks face off tonight at 8:00 PM EST.
