The Milwaukee Bucks (26-19) will conclude their four-game road trip with a matchup against the San Antonio Spurs (20-24) on Friday night. Ahead of their 8:00 p.m. ET tip-off, the Bucks have listed Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton as probable on the latest injury report. Antetokounmpo is managing right patella tendinopathy, while Middleton continues to deal with bilateral ankle injury management.

The Bucks are looking to bounce back from a 125-112 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 39 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists on 17-for-24 shooting, but his efforts were not enough to overcome Portland’s strong offensive showing. Middleton struggled to make an impact, going scoreless in 15 minutes while recording just one rebound and one assist.
