Giannis Antetokounmpo Injury Update: Tuesday 4/8/25 vs. the Timberwolves

UPDATE: Giannis Antetokounmpo is available for Tuesday’s game.

Bucks PF/C Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable for Tuesday’s game vs. Minnesota with the same shoulder injury that forced him to miss Sunday’s 111-107 win over the Pelicans.

This is big news for Bucks fans, as it looks like their star player has avoided any serious injury ahead of the end of the regular season after just missing one game.

At this point in the year, Milwaukee is just fighting for playoff seeding in the East, and it seems likely that the Pistons will be their biggest threat. The Bucks are currently a game ahead of the Pistons, and likely to face the Pacers if they retain that advantage. However, if the Pistons were to pass them in the standings, the Bucks could be looking at a matchup against the #3 seed Knicks.

Pat Connaughton is also listed as questionable with an ankle sprain. Stay tuned to DK Network for live injury updates on Antetokounmpo.
