Milwaukee remains unsure as to how the two-time NBA MVP actually incurred the injury. After working the post late in the first quarter, Antetokounmpo passed the ball before signaling to the bench to come off the court. With Mike Budenholzer calling a rare mid-possession timeout, Antetokounmpo headed straight for the locker room.

“He was basically asking out,” Budenholzer stated. “Fortunately we had the ball. I don’t think we know exactly when he knocked knees.” Prior to clocking out of the game, Antetokounmpo scored four points while racking up four rebounds and four assists.

Despite Antetokounmpo’s absence, the Bucks held on to defeat the Miami Heat, thereby extending their winning streak to 13 games.

Following his injury, Antetokounmpo seemed to be an injury doubt for the NBA All-Star game on Sunday night, during which he was set to be captain of the Eastern Conference team. He appeared in 20 seconds of his team’s 184-175 victory against Team LeBron before going off with the same injury.

Antetokounmpo was subsequently replaced by Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo before Bucks teammate Jrue Holiday came on during the second half of the contest.

“Taking it day by day, try to get healthy,” Antetokounmpo commented following his exit from the All-Star game. “You know, obviously I had the incident three days ago. I don’t think it’s smart in any way to … play a lot of minutes in the All-Star Game.”

After starting the All-Star game, Antetokounmpo caught the ball on the baseline, netted a basket, and committed an intentional foul to check himself out of the game.

Simmons, who has missed 11 games to date this season due to multiple injury setbacks, left the game in the third quarter after what was a disappointing night for him. He went 0-for-3 with seven assists, one rebound, and three turnovers before leaving the court.

Forward T.J. Warren departed the game midway through the fourth quarter when he suffered a left knee contusion. Nets coach Jacque Vaughn said after the game that it remains unclear whether Simmons and Warren would be in need of an MRI scan following their injuries.

Warren and Simmons’ injuries are the latest in an extended list of injury setbacks for the Nets this season. Star forward Kevin Durant remains unavailable for at least a few more weeks as he continues to battle an MCL sprain in his right knee, while Seth Curry was unavailable for the Pistons game after he experienced right knee soreness.

It remains unclear whether Simmons or Warren would be available for the Nets’ next outing against the New York Knicks.

While all of the Nets players aside from the injured Kevin Durant emerged fit from Saturday’s training session, coach Jacque Vaughn reminded that Simmons’ back problems are tricky to navigate and easily aggravated.

“He went through warmups, felt some tightness,” Vaughn commented. “So that was the report I had, and then he was a late scratch. He’ll be on the trip with us, so hopefully, it’s one game.”

The Nets are about to embark on a five-game road trip starting with a game against the San Antonio Spurs. While the team sits second in the Eastern Conference, the Nets will have to cope without Simmons nor key player Durant in the squad.

Simmons has missed 11 games this season as a result of various injuries, including when he needed time to recover after undergoing back surgery during the offseason. His numerous injury concerns have prevented him from finding consistency this season. Simmons grabbed 13 assists and nine rebounds during his last appearance during the 109-98 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday.

Just 45 minutes before tipoff, the Mavericks confirmed that Brunson would be unavailable for selection. He had previously been labeled as questionable for the game.

This marks Brunson’s first absence this season, having appeared in the reverse fixture of this clash, when the Mavericks soared to yet another overtime victory with the game ending 121-120 in New York City.

Brunson spent the first four seasons of his career with the Dallas Mavericks, emerging as the Mavericks’ second-highest scorer last season as the Mavs made it to the Western Conference Finals.

Although the Mavs hoped to re-sign Brunson for another season, the point guard ultimately decided to agree to the four-year, $104 million deal offered to him by the Knicks.

Ultimately, Magic will hope that the procedure will bring an end to some of Okeke’s injury woes—the 24-year-old player has missed the past 14 games as a result of this setback. Initially labeled as “left knee soreness”, Okeke was first sidelined on November 21.

“That’s the same knee he’s dealt with before,” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley commented, referring to the ACL injury that Okeke incurred months before being drafted into the NBA. “A part of this is being careful so things don’t get any worse. We want to stay cautious with our guys and make sure we try to get healthy bodies back.”

In 18 games this season, Okeke has averaged 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 21.8 minutes a game. He has started a total of 46 games for Orlando across his career, averaging 7.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.1 steals.

Ingles suffered a season-ending torn left ACL on January 30 this year while still playing for the Utah Jazz. While he was out injured, Utah used his contract as part of a three-team deal that landed him in Portland for the remainder of the season. In July, Ingles signed a one-year, $6.5 million free agent contract with the Bucks.

Following the completion of a 5-on-5 workout on Saturday, Ingles has been considered by his team to be fit enough to return to the court. Ingles had been practicing with the Bucks’ G League affiliate in an effort to return to fitness.

Prior to his trades earlier this year, Ingles had spent the entirety of his eight-year NBA career with the Jazz, during which he averaged 8.6 points over the course of 590 games. His postseason stats include an average of 9.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 45 games; 40 of which he started.

Davis seemed to tweak his right foot after his lower leg collided with Nikola Jokic as the two bumped into each other midair during the first quarter. Davis was unable to return to the game following the halftime break.

A source close to the matter disclosed that Davis is experiencing discomfort in his right foot and is likely to undergo an MRI for further evaluation.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham confirmed that Davis has already received X-rays at the arena and that further information on his condition is expected on Saturday.

“I don’t want to speak on it until I know exactly what’s going on,” Ham told reporters. “I’ll know more tomorrow.”

This is the latest in a series of injury concerns for Davis. Over the past two seasons, the player has missed more than half of the Lakers’ regular-season games. Davis appeared to be in better shape this season, however, playing in 24 of Los Angeles’ 27 games to date.

Sidelined since November 9, Cunningham has consulted with multiple doctors over the past few weeks. Together with the Pistons and his representatives at Excel Sports, the player elected to undergo surgery. While it will result in him being sidelined for the remainder of the season, the procedure is expected to have him fully recovered for the start of the 2023-24 season.

After taking a month to rest his shin and see if any improvements would arise, it became clear to Cunningham that the season-ending surgery would provide him the optimal recovery.

This season, the 21-year-old has averaged 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6 assists in 12 games. This is an improvement on the 17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.6 assists that he averaged during his rookie season when he was third in the Rookie of the Year vote.

Currently, the Pistons are bottom of the Eastern Conference standings after losing three consecutive games.

While fit to appear in the contest, Conley has been said to be on a minutes restriction as he continues to work to regain his conditioning.

Although Conley’s return is a welcome site for the Jazz, they will still be without forward Lauri Markkanen, who missed Wednesday’s 123-124 comeback win against the Golden State Warriors due to illness. Markkanen continues to be listed as questionable, however, he was spotted participating in a shootout on Friday morning.

Guard Collin Sexton will miss at least a week due to picking up a mild hamstring strain. Sexton replaced Conley during his absence during which time the Jazz went 3-6, yet won three of their past four games.
