Giannis sidelined again with calf injury
Standing in front of his locker with the assembled media after the Bucks’ comeback attempt fell short in their 102-100 loss to the shorthanded Nuggets, Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed news that Bucks fans least wanted to hear: he had injured his calf again, and he would likely be out another 4–6 weeks: “So, the next steps […]

Bucks vs. Nuggets Player Grades: Late comeback masks another putrid performance
The Bucks’ downturn continued last night, as they lost 102-100 at home to the very shorthanded Denver Nuggets, going winless against them this season.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Denver Nuggets Preview & Game Thread: Ominous vibes
After their fourth loss in five games, the Milwaukee Bucks go again tonight, facing off against the Denver Nuggets.
