"After Antetokounmpo's children left the court on Friday, the two-time MVP began putting himself through a pregame shooting routine for the third time this week, a routine that has grown more vigorous with each day.
When Antetokounmpo strained his right calf on Jan. 23, his second calf injury of the season, he estimated it would sideline him for four to six weeks. Although the Bucks did not release a specific timeline for his return, sources told ESPN that Antetokounmpo could be aiming to come back on the shorter end of his projected window: Four weeks from his initial injury would be Feb. 20, the team's first game following the All-Star break."

Is he playing in the all star game?
Is there a predictability on Kalshi on when he returns?
This doesn’t sound like the greatest idea ever.
This is so stupid. Just let him heal. He’s already been injured 3 times this year. This season is a lost cause and he might be getting traded in the offseason. There is no way I’m bringing him back for him to reinjure his calf or blow his Achilles and completely ruin the franchise for years
Rushing back your superstar who has already had multiple calf injuries so that you can win meaningless games, worsen your pick, and still miss the playin lmfao what an organization man
That’s a terrible idea.
He already rushed back once, let’s give him some extra time so we can tank
Good championship run coming
The fact we never got a official diagnosis is weird. We don’t even really know how serious it is, we’re just going off what Giannis thought it would be. He could be coming back early or it wasn’t as serious and Feb 20th is normal recovery time we don’t know.
Didn’t he just admit they rushed him back the last time? Tank you idiots! There’s no way the Bucks make it out of the first round of the playoffs (if they even made it that far). Shelf Giannis for the rest of the season, get a decent draft pick, and start fresh next year.
Who are these sources and why do we always assume what they say is true?
Just think for a second. Someone could overhear Giannis say “I want to come back soon if it’s possible.” They take that and run to the media and it becomes this article that “Giannis could be aiming to come back on the shorter end” which is conveniently unverifiable. They don’t even need a real source, they can write bullshit about players and hide behind the veil of “anonymous sources.”
I don’t know what’s worse, this disgusting media landscape that’s built just for clicks and engagement, or the media-illiterate fans that keep falling for it.
