Giannis Antetokounmpo's Injury Status For Bucks-Raptors Game

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Sunday's game.

On Sunday afternoon, the Milwaukee Bucks will be in Canada to play their final regular season game of the year against the Toronto Raptors.   

For the game, they will be without their best player, as Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out.      

He has missed each of the last two games, so this will be his third straight out of the lineup. 

Underdog NBA: "Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) listed out for Sunday."

The two-time MVP had a sensational season with averages of 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest in 63 games while shooting 55.3% from the field. 

With the way he has played, he could end up as a finalist for the 2023 MVP Award. 

In addition to Antetokounmpo's stellar season, the Bucks are the best team in the NBA and will go into the NBA Playoffs as the top seed. 

They have an impressive 58-23 record in 81 games and are 7-3 over their last ten. 

On the road, the Bucks are 26-14 in the 40 games they have played away from Wisconsin. 

Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to the NBA Championship in 2021, and they lost in the second round of the 2022 playoffs. 

As for the Raptors, they will be in the play-in tournament and are the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 40-41 record in 81 games. 

They are 5-5 in their last ten games and in the middle of a two-game losing streak.

That said, the Raptors are fantastic at home, going 26-14 in the 40 games they have hosted in Canada.
