Will Giannis Antetokounmpo play tonight against the Orlando Magic? Latest update on the Milwaukee Bucks star's injury report (March 8, 2025)

The Milwaukee Bucks are set to face the Orlando Magic on Saturday, March 8, at Fiserv Forum, with tip-off scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. The injury report for the Bucks reveals three players listed as day-to-day, but notably absent is Giannis Antetokounmpo, signaling the two-time MVP is healthy and ready to lead his team.


Giannis Antetokounmpo will be playing tonight against the Orlando Magic. The Milwaukee Bucks’ injury report includes Gary Trent Jr. (knee), Ryan Rollins (personal), and Pat Connaughton (calf), all marked as day-to-day. While their availability remains uncertain, the team’s focus will be on Giannis, who continues to dominate the court. Averaging 30.8 points per game this season, Giannis ranks second in the league in scoring and fifth in rebounds with 12.1 per game. His presence will be critical as the Bucks look to extend their 36-25 record.

On the other side, the Orlando Magic face significant challenges with two key players ruled out for the season. Moritz Wagner (knee) and Jalen Suggs (quadricep) will miss the remainder of the campaign, leaving the Magic shorthanded as they try to overcome their 29-35 record. Franz Wagner, averaging 24.9 points per game, will shoulder much of the offensive load for Orlando.
The Milwaukee Bucks enter the game with a +147 scoring differential, ranking 11th in the league with 114.9 points per game. Their defense, allowing 112.5 points per outing, sits 12th in the NBA. Giannis’s all-around impact, combined with Damian Lillard’s 22.6 points and 6.3 assists per game, gives Milwaukee a formidable edge.
For Orlando, the absence of Wagner and Suggs exacerbates their struggles. The Magic rank 30th in scoring, averaging just 104.5 points per game, while their defense leads the league, conceding only 106.2 points per contest.

Fans can catch the game on FDSWI and FDSFL or stream it live on Fubo, with regional restrictions potentially applying. As the Bucks aim to solidify their playoff positioning, all eyes will be on Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose health and performance remain pivotal to Milwaukee’s championship aspirations.
