Giannis Antetokounmpo Injury Update: Thursday 10/30/25 vs. Warriors

Updated:

By: Stan Son

UPDATE: Kyle Kuzma gets the start for Antetokounmpo.


Antetokounmpo has been wearing his Halloween costume early this year, donning the gear of Atlas and putting the Bucks on his back. Through four games, he’s averaging 36.3 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks while attempting a league-leading 18.8 two-point shots and making a league-leading 14.3 field goals. The heavy load must’ve been a little too much because he was put on the injury report ahead of Thursday’s game, although he was listed as probable. An hour before tipoff on Thursday, the Bucks ruled Antetokounmpo out.

Bobby Portis will likely enter the starting lineup for Milwaukee, although Kyle Kuzma is also an option.

The sample sizes are small at 40 minutes or below, but with Antetokounmpo off the court this season, Myles Turner and Gary Trent Jr. have seen the biggest usage bumps of 10%. Ryan Rollins is at 6.65% while Portis is at 4.3%.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
