What is Giannis Antetokounmpo's status for Bucks In-Season Tournament game vs. Hornets?

CHARLOTTE – The Milwaukee Bucks (7-4) play their second In-Season Tournament game on Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets (3-7) at the Spectrum Center.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable to play with a right calf strain. The two-time MVP missed the Bucks’ last game in Toronto with the injury.

Is Giannis playing?

It feels unlikely. While Antetokounmpo has shown improvement over the last few days by not immediately being ruled out, the questionable designation on the front end of a back-to-back leaves open the possibility of the team taking a cautious approach to his status.
