Antetokounmpo was able to workout on Thursday, but he was still considered a longshot to play. Bobby Portis should continue to take on a bigger role in his absence.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are still both game-time decisions for Thursday's game against the Pacers.

Antetokounmpo was attempting to play in Game 5 and wasn't able to. It appears both he and Damian Lillard will remain sidelined as the Bucks look to force a Game 7.

Giannis Antetokounmpo will be warming up with the Bucks tonight and will attempt to play in Game 5 versus the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

If Giannis plays, this would be his first appearance in the series versus the Pacers. With Damian Lillard doubtful, the Bucks need Antetokounmpo to show up in a big way if they want to avoid elimination tonight against the Pacers. The 29-year-old superstar hasn't played since April 9th, when he exited early in the third quarter in a win versus the Celtics. If he is able to play, he won't be at 100% strength, so his production might not match his usual prowess.
