Giannis Antetokounmpo injury update: Bucks superstar suffers massive injury setback with multi-week absence 

Giannis Antetokounmpo has suffered a massive injury setback. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar will reportedly be out for multiple weeks with a left calf strain. Giannis has missed the past three games with the ailment. According to insider Chris Haynes, Giannis will also miss the 2025 NBA All-Star game.

Haynes revealed Giannis will miss at least two to three weeks. He suffered the injury before the Bucks' game against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. The two-time MVP was the leading All-Star vote-getter among fans, with 4.4 million votes. Giannis was picked by Charles Barkley on his All-Star team.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's latest injury also heavily impacts the Milwaukee Bucks. They have lost six of their last eight games, dropping to 27-23 on the season. The Bucks are fifth in the East, three games ahead of the sixth-placed 26-26 Pistons. However, with three games left before the All-Star break, their chances of retaining the fifth spot remain bleak without their best player.

Giannis has played 41 of the team's 50 games, averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists, shooting 60.8%.
