The Milwaukee Bucks will welcome the Philadelphia 76ers in the latter’s second of a back-to-back 2025-26 NBA regular season game on Thursday, November 20. The Bucks will head into the clash on the back of two back-to-back losses. In the most recent game, they suffered a 118-106 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a defeat that dropped their tally to 8-7 in the ongoing season. The game saw their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo exiting the game late in the second quarter with a left groin strain. The Greek Freak finished with 14 points, five rebounds, four assists and four turnovers in 13 minutes.

On the other hand will be the Philadelphia 76ers, who are coming off a 121-112 loss to the Toronto Raptors. Tyrese Maxey led the charts with 24 points, while V.J. Edgecombe came up with 21 points. However, a collective offensive effort from the Raptors limited them to 112 points as the Sixers dropped to 8-6 win-loss tally. Both teams will aim to turn around the results of their previous games and hence, one can expect a tight contest in Milwaukee on Thursday.

That said, let’s have a look at the listed injuries for both the teams ahead of their Thursday encounter.
