Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight against Memphis Grizzlies? Latest on former DPOY’s status (April 3)

Giannis Antetokounmpo, forward for the Milwaukee Bucks, has been declared as eligible to play in the team’s second consecutive game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. This will be the final match of their season series, as the Grizzlies secured a 113-110 victory in their first meeting on Feb. 15.

Despite securing a close win over the Pistons on the road, the Memphis Grizzlies have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.

Despite facing some challenges, Milwaukee remains in a comfortable position as they maintain the second seed in the Eastern Conference during this crucial period. With the fifth-highest offensive rating in the NBA, the Bucks prove to be a formidable opponent against any team in the league.

The current state of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s career

Despite initially being labeled as uncertain, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been excluded from two of the last eight games due to a hamstring injury.

Despite being initially listed as probable, he was ultimately cleared to play in the team’s first back-to-back set against the Washington Wizards, which resulted in a 117-113 loss.

Prior to his hamstring injury, Antetokounmpo faced obstacles due to inflammation in his left Achilles tendon. There were rumors about his availability for the Bucks’ first game against the LA Clippers on March 4.

Though originally deemed questionable, the Greek Freak underwent evaluations during pregame warm-ups and was ultimately deemed unfit to participate.

Despite regularly appearing on injury reports due to inflammation in the patellar tendon of his right knee, Antetokounmpo has managed to avoid missing any games. However, the persistent inflammation has consistently kept him on the injury report.
