The San Antonio Spurs are set to face off against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, and the injury report is creating quite the buzz. Bobby Portis and Myles Turner are both listed as questionable, with Portis nursing a sprained left wrist and Turner dealing with an illness. Let’s dive into what this means for their potential playing status against the Spurs.
The Bucks might find themselves without both Portis and Turner for this matchup. With ongoing drama surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Spurs are emerging as favorites for Saturday's game. Portis hasn’t hit the court since the Bucks' 129-96 loss to the Clippers on Monday, and it seems unlikely he’ll be ready to play against the Spurs.
Turner, on the other hand, also missed action since Monday but has a better chance of suiting up. The Bucks are optimistic that Turner’s condition has improved enough for him to participate.
In his last outing against the Clippers, Turner contributed seven points, one block, and one steal. So, will Turner take the court against the Spurs?
It’s still up in the air.
Portis, who put up 11 points and snagged six rebounds against the Clippers, missed Wednesday's 130-99 defeat to the Blazers alongside Turner. As for Portis’ availability against the Spurs, it’s looking doubtful.
Here’s a quick look at the Bucks' injury list:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo: Out with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise.
- Gary Harris: Questionable due to a left groin contusion.
- Kyle Kuzma: Questionable with right Achilles tendinopathy.
- Kevin Porter Jr.: Out with right knee synovitis.
- Bobby Portis: Questionable with a left wrist sprain.
- Myles Turner: Questionable due to illness.
The Bucks will need to navigate these potential absences carefully as they prepare to take on a Spurs team ready to capitalize.
