Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard land on the injury report

The Milwaukee Bucks are set to take on the Houston Rockets for their 14th game of the season on Monday. However, the Bucks have four players on the injury report, including their star duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Nevertheless, the star duo is listed as probable.

The other two players on the roster, forwards Khris Middleton and Ryan Rollins, are listed as out.

The Bucks will look to improve to 5-9 on Monday without the likes of Middleton and Rollins.

To no one’s surprise, Antetokounmpo has been the Bucks’ best player, and it’s not even close. Even though the Bucks aren’t where they want to be, record-wise he’s been great for Milwaukee. He averaged 32.3 points per game. game, which ranks first in the league, 12.3 rebounds, which ranks third in the league, and 6.1 assists while shooting 60 percent from the field.

Antetokounmpo has missed just one game this season with a right adductor strain. In all likelihood, Antetokounmpo will be available for Monday’s game.

As for Lillard, all signs point to him being available after suffering a concussion against the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 12. He was ruled out due to concussion protocol and has since been on the mend. Lillard will likely be available on Monday and they have missed him a lot.

Lillard has missed three straight games with a concussion but is expected to return Monday. He has played at least 32 minutes in each of his appearances this season, but could face some limitations after a week off. In 10 games this season, Lillard has averaged 26.0 points per game. game, 4.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 35.8 minutes per game.

Rollins suffered the left shoulder injury in his first start of the season in Tuesday’s win over Toronto. He will miss his third straight contest on Monday.

Middleton has yet to play this season due to injuries to both of his ankles. There is no timetable yet for a possible return.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Middleton is still far away.

“The big concern in Milwaukee is Khris Middleton. His absence has been deafening for this team. He’s supposed to be your third star. He’s supposed to be the guy that when one of the other stars struggles, he’s going to be the one going up and he hasn’t even gone five-on-five yet. (The Bucks) aren’t sure exactly when he’s going to go five-on-five,” Charania added.

“(Middleton’s) absence has essentially been a lot longer than team managers expected. But they’re hopeful here over the next couple of weeks, get him in a couple of five-on-fives and hopefully he can develop into a return.”

The Bucks will be looking for their fifth win of the year over the new Rockets.
