The Milwaukee Bucks are in a rough patch, losing nine of their last 16 games. Despite their struggles, Giannis Antetokounmpo remains a dominant force, keeping playoff hopes alive. With a crucial game against the Phoenix Suns tonight, all eyes are on the Bucks’ injury report to see if their star will suit up.
Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight? Milwaukee Bucks’ injury report ahead of Suns clash (April 1, 2025)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as day-to-day with a left foot sprain. Though he’s been a regular on the injury report since the All-Star break, he’s only missed one game. Given his recent form—scoring 30+ points in four straight games—expect him to play tonight.
Here’s the full injury breakdown:
| Player | Injury | Status |
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | Left foot sprain | Day-to-day (likely playing) |
| AJ Green | Right AC joint sprain | Questionable |
| Damian Lillard | Deep vein thrombosis (right calf) | Out indefinitely |
| Jericho Sims | Torn ligament (right thumb) | Out for 4 weeks |
AJ Green’s absence could hurt the bench, while Lillard’s long-term injury leaves a gap in the backcourt. Sims’ surgery sidelines him until the playoffs.

With Kevin Durant also out for Phoenix, Milwaukee has a chance to snap their four-game losing streak. Here’s the projected starting five:
– Point Guard: Kevin Porter Jr.
– Shooting Guard: Gary Trent Jr.
– Small Forward: Kyle Kuzma
– Power Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
– Center: Brook Lopez
The Milwaukee Bucks lost their last meeting with the Suns 108-106, but Durant’s 38-point explosion won’t be a factor this time. Milwaukee’s success hinges on whether role players step up alongside Giannis.
Can Giannis carry the Milwaukee Bucks to victory?
The Greek Freak is averaging 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 5.9 assists this season, shooting 60.1% from the field. But his heroics may not be enough with the team’s recent defensive struggles. The Suns, despite their own woes, won’t go down easily. If the Bucks want to avoid a fifth-straight loss, they’ll need more than just Giannis. Tip-off at Fiserv Forum will reveal whether they’re up to the task.
Let us know which team you are siding with tonight. Will you support the Greek Freak and the Bucks or the Suns, who are going to be without their star, Kevin Durant?
