NBA injury report: Who will play for Bucks in regular-season finale?

Show Caption

The Milwaukee Bucks complete the regular season against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday afternoon at Fiserv Forum.

The Bucks are locked into the No. 5 position in the Eastern Conference and will play the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

With nothing to play for, the Bucks will have an interesting lineup.

Will Giannis play?

No. Giannis Antetokounmpo was listed as doubtful on the injury report with left shoulder tendinopathy, and Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said the two-time NBA MVP will not play in the game.

Who else is out?

Rivers said the four other players listed as doubtful – Kevin Porter Jr., Taurean Prince and Gary Trent Jr. – would also not play. Ryan Rollins – listed as questionable – will also not play.

So who does that leave?

Rivers said Kyle Kuzma would play, and the Bucks later said that AJ Green would go today.
