The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Philadelphia 76ers Thursday at Fiserv Forum at 8:00 PM ET without multiple starters, including Giannis Antetokounmpo (left adductor strain), Kevin Porter Jr. (right knee meniscus surgery), and Taurean Prince (neck surgery). Alex Antetokounmpo is also sidelined due to a G League two-way assignment.
Milwaukee enters the game with an 8-7 record and has lost its last two contests, falling 118-106 to Cleveland and 119-95 to the Lakers.
The absence of Giannis leaves the Bucks without their top scorer and rebounder, who averages 31.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. Ryan Rollins and Kyle Kuzma are expected to carry the scoring load, averaging 17.4 and 13.3 points, respectively.
The 76ers, 8-5 this season, have split their last two games with a 121-112 loss to Toronto and a 110-108 win over the Clippers. The Sixers are yet to submit their injury report.
Tyrese Maxey leads Philadelphia with 32.5 points and 7.7 assists per game, while Joel Embiid contributes 19.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes each average 16.8 points, providing additional scoring depth.
This matchup marks the first meeting between the Bucks and 76ers in the 2025-26 season. With Giannis sidelined, Milwaukee will rely on Myles Turner (12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds) and Bobby Portis (5.5 rebounds) to help stabilize the frontcourt.
