Giannis Antetokounmpo set to return against Celtics while Jaylen Brown is out with an illness
"Antetokounmpo has been out since Jan. 23 with a right calf strain. He is listed as questionable on the Bucks' injury report for Tuesday's game. He missed 15 consecutive games leading into the contest. The Bucks are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings, three games behind the 10th place Hornets for the lowest seed in the East's play-in tournament."
"Antetokounmpo has played in 30 of the Bucks' 59 games this season. There were rumors of a possible trade at the deadline, but Milwaukee chose not to make a move. Antetokounmpo is under contract for next season and has a player option for 2028 before hitting free-agency in 2029."
"The Celtics have won eight of their last 10 games. The team remains second in the Eastern Conference standings, 5.5 games behind first-place Detroit. Thus far, the Celtics have split the season series with the Bucks. The Bucks claimed the first matchup in Milwaukee on Dec. 11. The Celtics beat the Bucks by 28 points at TD Garden on Feb. 1."
