When Damian Lillard first joined the Milwaukee Bucks, there were a lot of questions surrounding his fit with Giannis Antetokounmpo. It’s as if people forgot that the seven-time All-Star also had to find his way alongside the other members of the squad. At this point in the season, Dame has done a commendable job of finding his groove not only alongside Giannis, but with the rest of the team as well. Lillard has also found a comfortable level of chemistry with the team’s other star, Khris Middleton. Coming off a Christmas day loss to the New York Knicks with a score of 129-122, the Milwaukee Bucks are looking to redeem themselves on Wednesday night versus the Brooklyn Nets in Barclays Center. However, the Bucks could be without their star of the franchise heading into the contest.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has been one of the early frontrunners for MVP this season is listed as questionable for Wednesday night’s contest versus Brooklyn. Antetokounmpo had an injury designation leading up to Christmas day with a foot sprain, but was cleared to play putting up 32 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists versus New York. Giannis hasn’t missed a game since November 15th in a road win over the Toronto Raptors, which is the only game he has missed all season. He is officially listed with right calf injury management for Wednesday night.
