Giannis Antetokounmpo's Status vs. Memphis Grizzlies Revealed

In this story:
The Milwaukee Bucks have released their injury report for Thursday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, and star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is being listed as questionable with right knee patella tendinitis.
Even if Antetokounmpo is unable to play, the Bucks should have the edge over Memphis, who is very shorthanded themselves. Desmond Bane, Brandon Clarke, Jaren Jackson Jr., Luke Kennard, John Konchar, Jake LaRavia, Ja Morant, Scottie Pippen Jr., Derrick Rose, and Marcus Smart are all listed on the injury report for Memphis.
Desmond Bane, Jake LaRavia, Ja Morant, Scotty Pippen Jr., Derrick Rose, Marcus Smart, and Brandon Clarke have all been ruled out. Jaren Jackson Jr. and John Konchar are listed as doubtful, and Luke Kennard is listed as questionable.
Memphis has dealt with injuries all season, but this has led to the emergence of some key young players that project to factor into the Grizzlies' future plans. If there is a silver lining in this season for Memphis, that is it.
The Grizzlies snapped a nine-game losing streak with their win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, taking down their old friend Dillon Brooks in that one. This game against the Bucks will be a much bigger test than that one was, especially if Antetokounmpo is available to play.
The Bucks and Grizzlies will tip-off at 5:30 PM PST.
