When Will Giannis Return? Latest Update, Timeline on Bucks Star Amid Groin Injury

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will reportedly be sidelined by a low-grade left groin strain for the next one to one-to-two weeks, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

Antetokounmpo suffered the groin injury during Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and dealt with some injury concerns last season on the way to 67 games. 

Any setback for the two-time MVP is going to raise concern for the Bucks considering he is the franchise cornerstone and their best chance at competing for a deep playoff run in the Eastern Conference.

He is a triple-double threat every time he steps on the floor and is averaging 31.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game while shooting 62.9 percent from the field this season.

He also averaged 30.4 points a night in each of the previous two seasons.

Nobody on Milwaukee's roster can replicate Antetokounmpo's impact, so nearly every game will be an uphill battle until he is healthy. It will take a collective effort to keep the offense afloat, but the team's long-term outlook will depend on how quickly one of the league's best overall players bounces back from his setback.

Look for the combination of Bobby Portis, Myles Turner and Jericho Sims to see more playing time until Antetokounmpo is healthy.
