The Bucks superstar could be hit with a hefty fine without even playing a minute in Saturday’s contest against the Wizards.

According to the official report, the Bucks have listed Giannis Antetokounmpo as questionable for Thursday's game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has a theory on why the Milwaukee Bucks are not featured in a Christmas Day game this year.

As long as the Milwaukee Bucks have Giannis Antetokounmpo, they expect to be able to compete for titles. They are hoping to have him for a long time, especially after re-signing him last season to an extension that runs through the end of the 2027-28 season. He's almost guaranteed to get an extension before that as well.

While there was initial disappointment, it has turned into gratefulness over an unexpected chance to spend time with family on the holiday.
