Milwaukee Bucks vs Sacramento Kings Injury report shaping the matchup (January 4, 2026)

For Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable due to right calf injury management. His status matters, as the Bucks win far less often when he does not play. Gary Harris is questionable with a neck strain, and Taurean Prince remains out while recovering from neck surgery.



Sacramento Kings’ frontcourt is thin. Domantas Sabonis is out with a knee injury and is not expected back until late January. Zach LaVine is questionable with a left ankle sprain after missing time, and Maxime Raynaud is also questionable with a knee issue. The Kings have struggled badly without Sabonis, which shows in their record.
