When the Milwaukee Bucks play the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, it will be a rematch of the 2021 NBA Finals and possibly a preview of the 2023 NBA Finals.
Latest news on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s injury status
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has the most points and rebounds on the team, hurt his knee on Friday and could only play for 6:28 minutes. Even so, Milwaukee won its 13th straight game and 15th in the last 16 games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s health is important for Milwaukee’s long-term success, but the way the Bucks played this season without their star player is a good sign.
Antetokounmpo might not be able to play this game because of his quadriceps. With a right quad contusion, the Bucks star’s status has gone from uncertain to uncertain.
Most likely, Bobby Portis, Joe Ingles, and Jae Crowder will play more because Antetokounmpo won’t be there.

On Sunday afternoon, the Phoenix Suns start a four-game trip on the road against the NBA’s hottest team, the Milwaukee Bucks.
On Friday, the Suns beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 124-115 to start the season after the All-Star break.
Devin Booker had 25 points (9-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, and eight assists in 36 minutes of play.
Booker didn’t shoot very well, and it took him 21 shots to score 25 points. But he still had a good game and was only two assists away from a double-double, which he hasn’t had since Nov. 26 when he scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against the Jazz.
Booker is still getting back into the swing of things after missing 26 of 29 games between Dec. 11 and Feb. 4 because of a groin injury. However, he has averaged 23.2 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.4 rebounds in five games since his return earlier this month.
