What is Giannis’ status for Bucks vs. Nets? Injury report, starters, schedule and odds

The Milwaukee Bucks look to get back on track Sunday evening in New York, as they take on the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center.

The Bucks (1-1) are coming off a disappointing loss to Chicago on Friday and hope to find a groove against the rebuilding Nets (0-2) before heading to Boston to take on the defending champion Celtics on Monday night.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) scores on Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (9) during the first half of their game Friday, October 25, 2024 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Is Giannis playing?

The MVP candidate is probable to play for the Bucks, as he is listed on the injury report with tendinitis in his right patella. It is an issue he’s been managing since the regular season began. When he met with the media following Wednesday’s loss to Chicago his right hand was wrapped, but Antetokounmpo insisted it was not an issue.

What happened to Andre Jackson Jr.?

The second-year Bucks guard was involved in a single-car crash before the team left for New York. Jackson Jr. did not suffer any injuries and a team spokesman said he is with the team.
