The Bucks have already made their final decision on the status of Giannis for Friday's bout. The former back-to-back MVP will be given the night off against the Grizzlies for rest purposes. Although, the official diagnosis on the injury report is that Antetokounmpo is dealing with a sore right knee. Nevertheless, the injury does not sound serious at all, and even if he ends up sitting out again on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, Giannis should be good to go once the playoffs start.

It is also worth noting that apart from Antetokounmpo, the Bucks have also listed Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Grayson Allen, and Pat Connaughton as out for Friday's contest. With so many key players missing, we expect guys like Bobby Portis, Wesley Matthews, and Joe Ingles to pick up the slack for Milwaukee on Friday.

However, with regard to the question of Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing vs. the Grizzlies, the answer is no.
