GAME LOG
Giannis Antetokounmpo - Shows out in season opener Antetokounmpo generated 37 points (16-26 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds and five assists during 27 minutes of Wednesday's 133-120 win over the Wizards.
Impact Antetokounmpo played under 30 minutes, but it was more than enough time for him to put up a massive stat line. He was the only Bucks player to exceed 17 points, and he delivered a double-double while tying for the team lead in assists. Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game during the 2024-25 regular season, and looks to be on track to record similar stats in 2025-26.

Kevin Porter Jr. - To undergo MRI Porter will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his left ankle injury, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Head coach Doc Rivers said postgame that Porter's ankle sprain looked "pretty bad," and the point guard will undergo further testing Thursday. Porter poured in 10 points in nine minutes before exiting Wednesday's contest after stepping on Bobby Portis's foot. Ryan Rollins started the second half in place of Porter, and it looks like Rollins and Cole Anthony would handle most of the point guard duties if Porter misses time. Milwaukee faces Toronto on Friday.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Won't return due to ankle sprain Porter has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Washington due to a left ankle sprain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porter rolled his ankle by stepping on Bobby Portis's foot early in the contest, and he's been ruled out the rest of the way. Porter finishes the game with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal in nine minutes. Look for Cole Anthony and Ryan Rollins to handle most of the point guard duties for the remainder of the contest. Porter's next chance to play will come Friday at Toronto.

Kevin Porter Jr. - Departs to locker room Porter went to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Wizards with an apparent leg injury, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porter stepped on Bobby Portis's foot, and after lying on the floor for a short period, Porter got up and walked to the locker room under his own power. While Porter is out, Cole Anthony and Ryan Rollins could see more minutes.

Kyle Kuzma - On bench for season opener Kuzma isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Kuzma started in 32 of 33 games with Milwaukee last season, but he'll start the 2025-26 campaign as a reserve. The move doesn't come as much of a surprise, as the Bucks toyed with a starting lineup that featured three guards in Kevin Porter, Gary Trent and AJ Green throughout the preseason, and the team will go with that group Wednesday. Although Kuzma isn't a starter, expect the 30-year-old forward to be one of the top bench options for Milwaukee.

Bobby Portis - Bench role Wednesday Portis will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Portis will begin the 2025-26 campaign in the second unit. Myles Turner will get the nod as the starting center, alongside Kevin Porter, Gary Trent, AJ Green and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Active Wednesday Antetokounmpo (back) will play Wednesday against the Wizards, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Antetokounmpo was added to the injury report late with a back issue, but he is good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener. The two-time MVP will be relied on heavily this season with his former co-star Damian Lillard out of town, and it may take some time for Antetokounmpo to adjust to playing next to recent acquisition Myles Turner.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Downgraded to probable Antetokounmpo (back) has been added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards.
Impact Although it's a downgrade for Antetokounmpo, there doesn't seem to be much real concern that he won't be available against Washington. The superstar forward's status should be confirmed closer to Wednesday's tipoff.
