The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday at Fiserv Forum. This game presents an opportunity for the Bucks to reestablish their dominance, as they have struggled recently with a 3-6 record in their last nine games. Milwaukee has been without their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo for the past two games.
Antetokounmpo’s absence will continue on Sunday as well. The star forward has been ruled out due to a calf injury against the visiting Philadelphia.
Antetokounmpo has been having another MVP-caliber season, averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. In his last appearance against the Memphis Grizzlies, Giannis put up a strong performance with 30 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. Despite his efforts, the Bucks fell short in that game.
Milwaukee also has other injury concerns, with Liam Robbins and Pat Connaughton listed as questionable due to calf injuries. Meanwhile, Joel Embiid is listed as questionable due to left knee injury management, while Paul George is available despite a left finger extensor injury. Additionally, Guerschon Yabusele is probable as he deals with soreness in his right knee.
Cam Johnson Questions Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Untouchable Status
After the shocking Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis’ trade, the NBA world now believes that no player is truly untouchable. Recently, when asked about players who are completely safe from being traded, Nets’ Cam Johnson named Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. However, when it came to Giannis Antetokounmpo, he wasn’t so sure.
“Right now, I would say Jokic, Wembanyama, and Shai. I don’t think so; I wouldn’t say [Giannis],” Johnson said on The Young Man and the Three podcast.

Milwaukee is currently 27-23 this season, and Giannis has been the team’s most valuable player. However, Johnson believes that if a strong enough trade proposal were made, the Bucks could consider moving on from their two-time MVP.
