Antetokounmpo (toe) is listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo continues to nurse a toe injury, but that won't keep him off the floor Sunday. The superstar big man is coming off an incredible performance in the win over the Raptors on Friday, finishing with 31 points, 20 rebounds and seven assists. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by the injury.
Antetokounmpo was in MVP form Friday night, registering 31 points (11-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 20 rebounds, seven assists, one block and five turnovers across 38 minutes in a 122-116 victory over Toronto.
That's two straight, monster, double-doubles for The Greek Freak to begin his 2025-26 campaign, and it was also his second straight game with a triple, which is something he never did last season. We wouldn't want to overreact to a two-game sample size, but he has looked comfortable attempting three-pointers in these early games, so perhaps that will be a larger part of his repertoire this year after he tried just 0.9 triples per contest last season.
