#Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer on Grayson Allen (sprained ankle) & Wesley Matthews (sore hamstring) – they’ll know more after the overnight/day tomorrow.
The fact Giannis Antetokounmpo was able to play the entire game after his ankle scare was encouraging. – 10:52 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo was visibly frustrated as the Hawks streaked down the court after his baseline jumper missed for a 102-85 lead. #Bucks call for timeout. – 10:07 PM

Giannis has been even more prolific getting to the rim this year, but that’s papered over serious struggles from pretty much everywhere else. Made real strides from midrange/floater range last year but his touch has been non-existent of late. 22/23 vs. 21/22: pic.twitter.com/vE0OWGiD7n – 10:03 PM

MarJon Beauchamp creates the majority of his offensive opportunities by simply running harder than everyone on the floor in transition. It’s easy to see why he’s a guy that Mike Budenholzer (and Giannis) would enjoy. – 9:40 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo is 4-for-10 from the free throw line. He’s had some rough nights there this season. The last was a 10-for-20 showing in Minnesota. – 9:03 PM

Almost to prove the point that his left ankle isn’t bothering him (which, who knows?), Giannis Antetokounmpo has since had a dunk and gotten to the free throw line a couple times. #Bucks still trail the #Hawks 38-36, however. – 8:49 PM

Embiid is 4th (32.30); Would be most by someone 4th
Giannis is 5th (31.8); Would be ever by someone 5th

NBA League Pass Game of the Day: Hawks at Bucks
Milwaukee (10-2) has the NBA’s best record, and their only loss with Giannis on the court was against Atlanta — which didn’t have Trae Young that night. Both stars will be active as the Bucks try to stay unbeaten at home. pic.twitter.com/HnAb4VmB9a – 5:54 PM

Domantas Sabonis has 136 rebounds and 75 assists this season.

Garnett, 2004-05
Antetokounmpo, 2019-20
Jokic, 2021-22

Jim Owczarski: Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable tonight for the #Bucks vs. the #Hawks. He’s missed three of the last four games with left knee soreness. pic.twitter.com/XYzzybLDR2 -via Twitter @JimOwczarski / November 14, 2022
Serge Ibaka then asked Giannis Antetokounmpo to pick his best starting fives from international players and the United States. International: Luka Doncic, Evan Fournier, Giannis, Nikola Jokic, and Joel Embiid. USA: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Bam Adebayo. “We beat them! Who’s gonna guard Embiid? Adebayo? Okay, that makes sense. Who’s gonna guard Jokic, and who’s gonna guard me?” Giannis talked about the outcome of the imaginary game. -via BasketNews / November 14, 2022
Greek Freak started the show by talking about his origins and naming the secret behind his surname’s change. Giannis’ real surname is Adetokunbo. “When you take another country’s passport, your name has to be spelled with their alphabet. So, in the D they put NT, and in the B they put MP. It’s pronounced Antetokounmpo in the Greek way, but in the Nigerian way, I know my [sur]name growing up was Adetokunbo,” he explained. -via BasketNews / November 14, 2022
