Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo missed Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns due to a quad injury. The Bucks fared surprisingly well without their best player, as they managed to beat the Suns by a final score of 104-101 behind 33 points from Jrue Holiday. Still, when the Bucks visit the Barclays Center on Tuesday night to play Mikal Bridges, Nic Claxton, and the Brooklyn Nets, every Bucks fan will surely be dying to know: Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight vs. the Nets?

Giannis Antetokounmpo, 28, is in his tenth year in the NBA, all as a member of the Bucks franchise. He's averaging 31.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game across 48 appearances this season (all starts).

The Greek native is struggling to shoot the ball from behind the three-point arc in the 2022-23 campaign — Antetokounmpo's current 27.0% three-point percentage is his lowest since the 2018-19 season when he was only 24 years old.
