Bucks and Jazz Prepare for Matchup

The Milwaukee Bucks, struggling with a 1-6 record, face the New York Knicks while dealing with significant injuries, particularly to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, who is still recovering from ankle surgeries. Middleton, although feeling better, has not yet been cleared for full participation in practices and may not return soon. Antetokounmpo is questionable for the upcoming game due to a right adductor strain, adding to the team's woes. Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz, also at 1-6, might regain key players like Lauri Markkanen, who has been out with back spasms. Markkanen's potential return is crucial for the Jazz as they seek to improve their performance. Both teams are hoping for a turnaround as they prepare for their matchups this week.
