Bucks vs. Hawks injury updates: Will Giannis Antetokounmpo, Trae Young play in Game 5?

To borrow a WWE term, the 2021 Eastern Conference finals have turned into a Last Man Standing match.

The Bucks and Hawks are dealing with potentially series-changing injuries to their top players. Trae Young missed the entirety of Game 4, as he was recovering from a bone bruise in his right foot. Then Giannis Antetokounmpo went down with a scary left knee injury after attempting to block a Clint Capela dunk in the second half of that contest.

Both stars haven't been ruled out of the NBA playoffs, so when will they return to the court?

Here are the latest updates on Antetokounmpo and Young ahead of Thursday's Game 5.

Will Giannis Antetokounmpo play vs. Hawks?

Antetokounmpo is listed as out on the official Game 5 injury report. The Bucks announced during Game 4 that he had suffered a hyperextension of his left knee, and an MRI later confirmed the initial diagnosis.

During his Wednesday media availability, Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer said the team is going to take it "day by day" with Antetokounmpo's injury and not jeopardize his long-term health.

Budenholzer: "When you talk about the range of possibilities, I think where this has landed has to be looked at as a positive. It's still a really difficult fall...It's part of sport, part of the playoffs, but we'll manage it, both from a Giannis perspective, a team perspective."
