The Milwaukee Bucks have opened up the 2025–26 season with an 8–6 record entering Monday’s matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Milwaukee currently owns the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, yet it is hard to imagine the group finding much success without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Milwaukee Bucks’ All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo injured his groin just three minutes before halftime in the Milwaukee Bucks’ game on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 37 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied for a 118-106 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, who saw All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo leave Monday night’s game due to injury.

The Bucks and Cavaliers make their final decision on the availability of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Darius Garland for their matchup tonight.

Former Dominican High School star Alex Antetokounmpo is back in Wisconsin, and has a chance to make NBA history with his older brothers.

The Lakers wanted the game ball for rookie Adou Thiero, who scored his first NBA points, but the officials wouldn't give it up. Giannis intervened.

There were 32 lead changes, Giannis had 18 assists, and rookie Kon Knueppel scored a career-best 32 points in a wild Bucks NBA Cup win.

Bucks outlast Hornets 147-134 in overtime, improve to 2-0 in NBA Cup pool play with a win on Nov. 14. Eight players scored in double figures.
