Bucks' Thanasis Antetokounmpo gets one-game suspension

Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo has been suspended one game without pay for head-butting Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin
APRIL 1, 2023 • Associated Press
Receives suspension Antetokounmpo was served a one-game suspension for a flagrant two foul he was assessed on Thursday.
Impact Antetokounmpo headbutted Blake Griffin after being fouled on a shot attempt with a little over one minute to play in the 140-99 loss and was ejected. He was handed a single-game suspension, which means he will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the 76ers. His absence should have minimal effect on Coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation.

Gets playing time in blowout Antetokounmpo logged 12 minutes off the bench in Friday's 144-116 win over the Jazz, finishing with four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Impact Antetokounmpo remains outside of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation, but he had the opportunity to play nearly the entire fourth quarter Friday after the Bucks carried a 30-point lead into the final period. The 30-year-old left the team for a few days last week to tend to a personal matter, but now that he's back with the Bucks, he'll see little use in his depth role down the stretch.

Good to go Wednesday Antetokounmpo (personal) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Spurs.
Impact Antetokounmpo appears to have returned to the team and could play Wednesday. However, his last appearance was on Mar. 1, and he hasn't logged more than five minutes in a game since early January, so his return shouldn't make much of a fantasy impact.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not with team Antetokounmpo isn't with the team and won't suit up Wednesday against the Spurs.
Impact Antetokounmpo isn't a regular part of the rotation, so his absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops, but his next chance to don the uniform arrives Friday as the Bucks embark on a four-game road trip beginning in Salt Lake City.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out Thursday Antetokounmpo (not with team) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Pacers.
Impact Antentokounmpo's absence is unlikely to affect Milwaukee's rotation. His return timetable is unclear, but his next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Toronto.

Impact Antetokounmpo has struggled to earn a rotation spot with the Bucks, having appeared in just 2.5 minutes per game this season despite Milwaukee's injury struggles. However, he should be a top option with the Herd for as long as he remains on their roster.
NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled to NBA The Bucks recalled Antetokounmpo from the Wisconsin Herd of the G League on Wednesday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Antetokounmpo has dealt with a non-COVID illness over the last week, but it's encouraging that he was able to return to practice after sitting out Saturday's practice session. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's regular-season opener against the 76ers, but he certainly appears to be trending in the right direction.
OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Status unclear for Opening Night Antetokounmpo (illness) is expected back at some point next week, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Head coach Mike Budenholzer didn't specify precisely when Antetokounmpo would be available, so it's best to consider him a question mark for Opening Night on Thursday versus the Sixers. He should fill a light bench role if available.

Missing Tuesday's game Antetokounmpo (illness) will miss Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bulls with a non-COVID illness, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports
Impact Antetokounmpo's illness will also likely put his status for Wednesday's game against the Nets into question. While it is unlikely that this illness will cause him to miss any regular-season action, Antetokounmpo is not likely to receive much more than 10 to 15 minutes per game this season.
