Injury: Left hip pointer, which is a synonym for bruise at the top of the bone.

Player: Gary Trent Jr.

Injury: Back spasms

Analysis: Trent is probable with lower back spasms. He missed games against Boston and New York. He looked to be getting in-game attention on his back on Oct. 31 in Memphis, but any issues he'd been dealing with weren't publicly addressed until Nov. 7 when he didn't play in the second half vs. Utah and Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said the shooting guard was experiencing back spasms.

Before the Knicks game, Trent spoke about what he's been working through regarding his back problem.

November 9

Player: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Injury: Right patella tendinopathy

Analysis: The Bucks star is probable to play with right patella tendinopathy, which is a general way to say he's got some pain in that knee. The good news is he is no longer listed as managing the strained right adductor that he suffered on Nov. 2 and caused him to miss a game. Prior to the adductor issue, Antetokounmpo began the year managing tendinitis in his right patella.

Player: Andre Jackson Jr.

Injury: Left hip pointer, which is a synonym for bruise at the top of the bone.

Analysis: Jackson is questionable to play against Boston on Nov. 10. The second-year guard was injured some time in the first half against New York on Nov. 8 and did not start the second half, though he did re-enter the game later. Bucks head coach Doc Rivers later said he should not have subbed Jackson back in because the game was out of hand, but perhaps playing showed Jackson he could indeed go vs. the Celtics.

Player: Ryan Rollins

Injury: Left shoulder contusion

Analysis: Rollins is probable to play vs. Boston and should be good to go. Signed to a two-way contract at the start of the season, Rollins has leapfrogged veteran free agent signing Delon Wright for backup point guard minutes.

Player: Gary Trent Jr.

Injury: Back spasms

Analysis: Trent is questionable to play vs. Boston on Nov. 10 with lower back spasms. He also began the day as questionable to play vs. the Knicks on Nov. 8 but was ruled out. He looked to be getting in-game attention on his back on Oct. 31 in Memphis, but any issues he'd been dealing with weren't publicly addressed until Nov. 7 when he didn't play in the second half vs. Utah and Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said the shooting guard was experiencing back spasms.

Before the Knicks game, Trent spoke about what he's been working through regarding his back problem.

Player: Khris Middleton

Injury: Bilateral ankle surgery

Analysis: He is officially out for the game on Nov. 10 vs. Boston, but he went through a live three-on-three session in the morning of the Bucks' game on Nov. 7 and head coach Doc Rivers hoped Middleton would get more live work on Nov. 9.

On Oct. 30, Rivers felt the three-time all-star did "a lot" in a practice and on Oct. 31 in Memphis, Middleton went through a shootaround and sounded positive about his direction, though he said he's not ready to play.Middleton had offseason surgery on both ankles and while he has been on the court for individual work and some one-on-one and three-on-three play, he has yet to be cleared for five-on-five action.

November 8

Player: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Injury: Right adductor strain

Analysis: The Bucks star is probable to play the second night of a back-to-back in New York on Nov. 8. He initially was listed as questionable for the game vs. Utah on Nov. 7, but he played. He suffered the injury against Cleveland on Nov. 2 and missed the game on Nov. 4 in Cleveland. The adductor is actually a group of muscles on the inside of the thigh, and can affect the hip, groin and other area -- so it's possible this injury sidelines the explosive MVP candidate for some time. If there is some good news, it's that Antetokounmpo was not listed with tendinitis in his right patella, which he had been managing since the start of the season.

Player: Gary Trent Jr.
