Dec 3, 2025; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) drives to the basket in the first half against the Detroit Pistons at Fiserv Forum. Mandatory Credit: Michael McLoone-Imagn Images Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to return from a right calf strain on Saturday night in Chicago, multiple outlets reported.
Provided the two-time MVP forward clears pregame testing, he will play for the first time in 24 days. The Bucks are 2-6 in Antetokounmpo's absence heading into the clash with the Bulls.
The nine-time All-Star was projected to miss two to four weeks after sustaining the injury in the first quarter of a Dec. 3 win against the Detroit Pistons.
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 floor in the paint. He needed assistance to leave the court with nine minutes left in the opening period.
Antetokounmpo, 31, has struggled to stay on the floor this season due to injuries and has missed 14 of Milwaukee's 31 games. He is averaging 28.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.
