NBA honoree is not the only Buck afflicted with whatever this undivulged disease is, as two of his teammates were also either already ruled out or considered questionable.But maybe the Bucks can survive without him.

Giannis Antetokounmpo did play in the Bucks’ earlier meeting against the Nets this season in Brooklyn. He finished with 34 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks in a 118-113 win. Lillard added 15 points, 11 assists, and six rebounds. The Bucks are 1-1 against the Nets thus far.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (back spasms) misses a 2nd straight game, while Damian Lillard (illness) is out for a 3rd straight matchup.

But they could be missing some key players when they take the court on Thursday. In the initial injury report, Milwaukee has listed both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard a

Bucks 112, Bulls 91 – Middleton 21pts/5reb/5ast (24min) – Lopez 21pts/2reb – Portis 19pts/13reb/6ast – Trent 14pts/4reb – Green 10pts/2reb/3ast

While Damian Lillard’s biggest goal is still winning an NBA championship, the significance of winning the NBA Cup was not lost on the 13-year veteran.

The Bucks superstar could be hit with a hefty fine without even playing a minute in Saturday’s contest against the Wizards.

According to the official report, the Bucks have listed Giannis Antetokounmpo as questionable for Thursday's game.
