Milwaukee Bucks Injury Report: Latest on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard's availability for game vs. Bulls (Dec. 28)

The Milwaukee Bucks will cross swords against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday in what will be their second meeting this week. The Bucks dominated their first matchup on Monday, securing a convincing 112-91 victory despite missing superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

In their most recent game, Milwaukee fell short in a closely contested 111-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. Doc Rivers' team currently holds the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings with a 16-13 record through 29 games.

The Bucks will be eager to return to winning form against the Bulls. However, the challenge may be tougher, as the availability of their key players, Giannis and Lillard, remains uncertain.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is ruled out after being listed as "questionable" as he is suffering from a non-COVID illness. The two-time MVP has already missed the Bucks' last three games due to back spasms.

However, Damian Lillard will play for Bucks after also being listed as "questionable," dealing with a non-COVID illness. The superstar point guard has been sidelined since the Bucks' NBA Cup Final against the OKC Thunder, missing four consecutive games. Lillard sat out the first two games due to a right calf strain, followed by the last two because of illness.

Khris Middleton will also suit up after being listed as "probable" earlier after undergoing bilateral ankle surgery in the offseason. Rookie Andre Jackson Jr. is also "probable" as he recovers from a right ankle sprain.
