According to the official injury report, Antetokounmpo is likely to play against the Bulls due to patellar tendonitis in his right knee. While the injury may seem a bit concerning, the truth is that it’s an issue Giannis has been dealing with for weeks now.

He’s been his usually dominant self on the court, and it doesn’t seem like the knee is bothering him at all. As such, the former back-to-back MVP is expected to dress Friday for what will be Milwaukee’s second straight road game.

The only thing that casts some doubt on Antetokounmpo’s injury status is the fact that the Bucks are playing on the second night of a back-to-back set. For all we know, the team could suddenly decide to give its superstar a night off in the middle of his grueling schedule.
