The 2024 Emirates NBA Cup continues on Saturday night in Las Vegas with a pair of semifinal matchups that include the Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks game. The Hawks and Bucks are looking to punch their ticket to the final on Tuesday against either the OKC Thunder or the Houston Rockets.
Tonight's game will be the second meeting of the season between the two teams, with the Hawks coming out on top on Dec. 4. Jalen Johnson had 23 points and 13 rebounds in Atlanta's 119-104 win at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points, 11 rebounds and five assists for the Bucks.
Atlanta earned its way to the semifinal by beating the New York Knicks on the road. Milwaukee, on the other hand, barely defeated the short-handed Orlando Magic, who were missing Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner due to oblique injuries.

Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Injury Report
Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks have a whopping nine players on their injury report, but only one player is listed as out. Cody Zeller won't be suiting up on Saturday because he's not with the team. Dominick Barlow, Mouhamed Gueye, Seth Lundy and Keaton Wallace are questionable due to possible assignment to the NBA G League.
Jalen Johnson is questionable with a sprained right ankle, while Trae Young, DeAndre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic are tagged as probable. All four players will be evaluated before the game, with Young, Hunter and Bogdanovic likely getting cleared with no problem. Johnson is still a candidate for a potential downgrade to out.
Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks have three players on their injury report, and they are all listed as probable. They are scheduled for evaluation before tip-off and are likely to get upgraded to available.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is dealing with a right patellar tendinopathy, while MarJon Beauchamp has the same injury to his left hamstring. Khris Middleton had double ankle surgery in the offseason, so he's always under precaution before every game.
