Antetokounmpo missed their last game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which they won by a score of 136-132 in overtime on Wednesday night.

The two-time MVP is averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per contest in the nine games that he has played.

In addition, the Bucks have been the best team in the NBA to begin the 2022-23 season.

They started out a perfect 9-0 and are currently 10-1 in their first 11 games (they lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night in Georgia).

Antetokounmpo has looked like one of the top-two players in the world, and the Bucks look like a serious contender to win the 2023 NBA Championship.

Even more impressive, All-Star guard Khris Middleton has yet to play in a game so far this season and has been ruled out for Friday.

As for the Spurs, they started out the season 5-2 in their first seven games but are now in the middle of a five-game losing streak.

They come into the night with a 5-7 record in their first 12 games.
