Injury Reports and Player Updates
The Spurs will continue to be without guard Devin Vassell due to an adductor strain. His absence has impacted the team’s performance, leading to a noticeable decline in their shooting efficiency. Interestingly, the Spurs have struggled more without Vassell than they did when Victor Wembanyama was unavailable, although this may be coincidental.
On the other hand, the Bucks (17-23) are also navigating a tough season. Star player Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently dealing with an ankle injury but is listed as probable for the game. His potential return could significantly affect the Bucks’ offensive strategy.
- Injury Updates:
- Devin Vassell: Out (adductor strain)
- Giannis Antetokounmpo: Probable (ankle injury)
Shooting Struggles and Upcoming Challenges
The Spurs have been facing a prolonged shooting slump, particularly from three-point range. They managed to shoot 35% from beyond the arc against the Thunder, a figure that, while not stellar, offers a glimmer of hope compared to previous performances this season.
For the Spurs to break their losing streak against the Bucks, they will need to improve their shooting and maintain solid defensive play. With the All-Star break just over three weeks away, sustaining performance levels is crucial as the team seeks to position itself favorably for the playoffs.
