Bucks Downgrade Giannis Antetokounmpo To Out
8 months agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is now out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Initially tagged as probable with injury management, Antetokounmpo won't play on Wednesday due to a right calf strain. There's no indication that he suffered any kind of setback at this point, so we'll view the two-time MVP as day-to-day leading into Friday's In-Season Tournament battle with the Hornets in Charlotte. Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton will try to pick up the slack left behind by Antetokounmpo, while Bobby Portis, fresh of his first double-double of the year on Monday, could receive more minutes and even a potential spot start against Toronto. The Raptors may have to play bigger with Dennis Schroder (knee) iffy and Gary Trent Jr. (foot) unlikely to play for this one.
