The Milwaukee Bucks face another potential setback as Giannis Antetokounmpo remains questionable for Friday’s game against the New York Knicks due to a foot sprain. The injury kept him out of Wednesday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, and his absence could further complicate the Bucks’ push for a higher playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.
Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight? Milwaukee Bucks injury report for tonight’s game against the New York Knicks (March 28, 2025)
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s availability for tonight’s game against the New York Knicks is uncertain. He is listed as GTD due to a foot injury. Milwaukee has lost six of its last 10 games, including back-to-back defeats. Without Antetokounmpo, the team’s offensive and defensive production takes a significant hit. The two-time MVP is averaging 30.2 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game this season, shooting an efficient 60.0% from the field. His presence on the court has been crucial in keeping the Bucks in playoff contention.

The Bucks are already missing Damian Lillard, who is sidelined indefinitely with a blood clot in his calf. If Giannis sits out again, the scoring burden will fall on Kyle Kuzma, Brook Lopez, and Taurean Prince, who will need to step up to fill the void.
New York Knicks look to capitalize on Bucks’ injury woes
New York arrives in Milwaukee after a rough stretch, losing five of its last 10 games, including a disappointing defeat against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Facing a depleted Bucks roster could provide the Knicks with an opportunity to regain momentum before the playoffs.
With the Bucks clinging to the sixth seed in the East, another loss could push them further down the standings. The Knicks, meanwhile, will aim to exploit Milwaukee’s weakened lineup and secure a crucial road win.
