Uncertainty surrounds Giannis Antetokounmpo’s availability when the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.

Per Eric Nehm of The Athletic, the Bucks have submitted an injury report showing Giannis as probable against the Cavaliers due to right calf injury management.

The report indicated that Jae Crowder will remain out for the Bucks due to left adductor surgery.

The Greek Freak was also listed as questionable for the same reason before the Bucks’ duel with the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.

Giannis posts a near-triple double vs. the Nets

Giannis went on to suit up against the Nets and ended up highly effective as he finished with 32 points, ten rebounds, eight assists, and two blocks to lead the Bucks to a dominant 144-122 victory.

Having Giannis will significantly boost Milwaukee's bid to end its four-game road trip with a winning record. The Bucks are 2-1 in the current trip.

Injury-free season

Antetokounmpo has been relatively healthy this season, as he has only missed one contest.

In the 30 games that he has played, Giannis averaged 30.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.2 blocks in 34.7 minutes of playing time per contest.

Milwaukee is currently second in the Eastern Conference with a 23-8 record. The Bucks have gone 8-2 in their last ten games, and Giannis was a big factor in that searing run.

Over the last ten games, the two-time MVP has scored 30.6 points per outing with 11.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists.
