Is Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo returning from injury tonight vs. Pistons?

On Wednesday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks will hit the floor on the road to take on the Detroit Pistons. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been in the headlines recently for a reported spat regarding his desire to play–and the Bucks’ desire to sit him–and he will officially remain out of the lineup on Wednesday due to a bone bruise. Here’s everything we know about the Bucks’ injury situation vs the Pistons.

Antetokounmpo’s wish to play down the stretch of this season will not be granted on Wednesday against the Pistons, as he is still listed as out for this contest. Joining Antetokounmpo on the injury report are Kyle Kuzma (Achilles), Kevin Porter Jr. (knee), Bobby Portis (wrist), and Myles Turner (ankle), each of whom will miss this contest.

Meanwhile, Wednesday could mark the return of Pistons star Cade Cunningham, who has been out for the last several games with a collapsed lung but is listed as questionable vs the Bucks. Kevin Huerter is questionable with an illness, while Isaiah Stewart is also questionable to make his return from a calf injury.

The Bucks have been in the headlines this week for their reported disagreements with Antetokounmpo about whether he should play or not down the stretch of this season. Antetokounmpo reportedly is intent on returning for the home stretch, but the Bucks, who have long since been eliminated from the playoffs, are not eager to rush back their star, who has become increasingly injury prone over the last few seasons.

The Bucks have just three games left in the season, including Wednesday night’s game in Detroit.

In any case, tipoff between the Pistons and Bucks is slated for 7:00 pm ET.
