The Denver Nuggets stay on the road Friday night with a trip to Milwaukee to face Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. The game is scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m. ET (8:30 p.m. CT) with streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime.

For the first time since the 2016-17 season, the Milwaukee Bucks star is likely to miss the All-NBA teams. He expects to sit out roughly one month. Therefore, he will fall short of the 65-game awards threshold. Giannis admitted disappointment,

Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to have another extended absence after suffering another calf injury.

The Bucks were without two key players and never led against the reigning NBA champion Thunder at Fiserv Forum.

The Denver Nuggets are still considering making an honest effort against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight, the second half of a back-to-back that is taxing an already injury-riddled roster. They could sit their few healthy starters, but the injury report suggests both Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray may play.

Denver responded with a 9-0 run, with Watson making a 3-pointer and another jumper during the stretch. He later surpassed his previous season and career best of 32 points with a free throw with 1:50 remaining after overcoming an awkward fall during a contested dunk attempt.

Trade rumors and speculation surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo have continued to swirl, and in light of the the calf injury suffered by the Milwaukee Bucks superstar last night, league insiders have reportedly adjusted their mindset on a potential deal.

Milwaukee is a strong team when Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the game, and a terrible one when he sits. Can the Bucks find a solution?
