Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo out for game with right calf strain
Dec 1, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) dunks the ball as Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (22) looks on in the second quarter at Capital One Arena. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for the rest of the Milwaukee Bucks' home game with the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
After tiptoeing along the baseline and dishing a pass to AJ Green for a layup, Antetokounmpo started to run back on defense when he fell to the ground in the paint. He needed assistance to leave the court with 9:05 left in the first quarter. The nine-time NBA All-Star hit two free throws, grabbed one rebound and handed out the assist to Green before departing.
Antetokounmpo has struggled to stay on the floor this season. While he's averaging 30.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, he strained his left adductor muscle on Nov. 17 at Cleveland and sat out the next four games.
Wednesday's game was his fourth appearance since returning from that injury. He has missed six games this season. The Bucks' next game is Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers in Milwaukee.
