Giannis Antetokounmpo left the Milwaukee Bucks' 102-100 defeat to the Denver Nuggets with a right calf injury after playing through discomfort for most of the game. The two-time MVP expects to miss four to six weeks following an MRI on Saturday, sidelining him past the February 5 trade deadline. This marks another setback in a season plagued by calf issues for Antetokounmpo.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee, sidelining him indefinitely as the NBA trade deadline nears. The injury occurred during a loss to the Dallas Mavericks and comes amid uncertainty about his future with the team. Kuminga had recently returned to the rotation following Jimmy Butler's season-ending ACL tear.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler tore his right ACL during Monday's victory over the Miami Heat, ending his season just two weeks before the NBA trade deadline. The injury occurred in the third quarter of the 135-112 win, sidelining the 36-year-old All-Star for surgery at a yet-to-be-determined date. With the Warriors at 25-19 and eighth in the West, the loss dims their playoff prospects.
