Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing vs Suns? Bucks Reveal Final Injury Status

The Milwaukee Bucks will play their 75th game of the season on Tuesday as they prepare to host the Phoenix Suns.

The Bucks will play the Suns for the second and final time this season. Milwaukee will look to tie the series and grab its 41st win.

The Bucks have not played like the team that came out of the gates hot from the All-Star break. Milwaukee has lost four consecutive games, and they will look to snap that on Tuesday.

Milwaukee has slipped over the past few games, losing nine of their last 13. This is not an ideal spot to be in, as the playoffs are around the corner. Still, the Bucks will look to turn the page on that and get the win over the Suns.

The Bucks have a great chance at doing that as they will have their superstar forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo, who entered the game listed as probable, has been upgraded to available and will start for the Bucks.
