2025 Fantasy Outlook
A points-league maven, Antetokounmpo hasn't delivered first-round value in category leagues since 2021-22, when he shot 72.2 percent from the free-throw line. Since then, he's shot 64.5, 65.7 and 61.7 percent from the charity stripe. For a guy who takes double-digit trips to the line every night, those numbers can irritate fantasy managers in category leagues who aren't punting free-throw percentage. The other glaring concern in Antetokounmpo's profile is missed time, as he's been in street clothes for at least 15 regular-season games in five of the last six seasons. Despite the obvious flaws, the two-time MVP remains an elite producer and could see even more usage in 2025-26 after the Bucks waived Damian Lillard, who tore his Achilles during their last playoff run. The roster around Antetokounmpo has changed drastically since winning the title in 2020-21, with Kevin Porter, Gary Trent, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner now surrounding the Greek superstar in the first five. It's unclear if that supporting cast will be enough to elevate the Bucks back into contention, but the idea is clear: add floor spacers to create more room for Antetokounmpo to operate offensively. If you're paying up for Antetokounmpo, you have to be wary of his flaws, but when available, he's as consistent an option as it gets. He's averaged at least 30 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and two stocks while shooting over 60 percent from the field in back-to-back campaigns. Read Past Outlooks
Dealing with calf injury
Head coach Doc Rivers said after Friday's 102-100 loss to the Nuggets that Antetokounmpo suffered a right calf injury and was "defiant about staying in," Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports. He finished with 22 points (4-8 FG, 14-16 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Antetokounmpo sustained the injury, though he exited Friday's contest with 34 seconds remaining in the fourth and appeared to grab at his calf before limping off the court. Rivers also said that he thought the superstar was favoring the calf for most of the second half, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic. The two-time MVP joined his teammates on the bench before the game ended but did not check back in. The severity of the injury is not yet clear, but he's set to receive an MRI on Saturday, per Nehm. It's worth noting that Antetokounmpo missed eight consecutive games in December due to a right calf strain.

It was another excellent season for the perennial MVP candidate, who finished fourth in the award voting. The addition of Damian Lillard did little to reduce Antetokounmpo's production. If anything, it actually helped his fantasy value through increased efficiency, with Antetokounmpo averaging 30.4 points per game on a career-high 61.1 percent shooting. He also dished a career-high 6.5 dimes per game. Plus, after a season of decreased defensive numbers, he got his steals average back to 1.2 and his blocks to 1.1. It should be much of the same for the two-time MVP as he enters his age-30 season. The Bucks' core is the same, though it will be interesting to see how the team adjusts with a full season of Doc Rivers. It's possible Lillard takes on some more usage as he gains comfort, but that shouldn't stop Antetokounmpo from being one of fantasy's top producers. As always, fantasy managers in category leagues need to take note of his poor free-throw shooting on high volume, but there are enough ways to work around that to make him worthy of a first-round selection.

ANALYSIS
