Milwaukee has listed Giannis as probable due to left knee soreness, though he is expected to play as he has been able to play through the injury this season.
Milwaukee has ruled out Taurean Prince due to herniated disc in his neck that is expected to sideline him for an extended period.
This is a massive blow for the Bucks as Prince has been a key contributor for them this season and with him sidelined, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis will likely be in line for larger roles moving forward.
