Giannis Antetokounmpo's Injury Status for Clippers vs Bucks

The LA Clippers have gotten superstar Kawhi Leonard back from injury, and the two-time NBA Finals MVP has already made a huge impact. While Leonard is not stuffing the stat sheet and is still on a minute restriction, the Clippers are 5-1 when he suits up this season.

The Clippers head into a big matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, expecting Leonard to make a huge difference against one of the top teams in the East. The Bucks are 25-17 on the season but have won eight of their last nine.

Milwaukee is led by their own superstar forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the two-time MVP has found a spot on the injury report for Saturday's matchup.

The Bucks have ruled Antetokounmpo probable for Saturday's matchup in LA with right patella tendinopathy. This knee injury is not expected to sideline Antetokounmpo for the big cross-conference matchup, but the Bucks would take a huge hit if he does have to sit out.
