Giannis Antetokounmpo se quedó fuera por tercera vez consecutiva debido a un dolor en la rodilla izquierda. Había sido catalogado como dudoso antes del enfrentamiento de los Bucks-Mavs.

Los Bucks descartaron al dos veces MVP reinante de la NBA unos 90 minutos antes del inicio en el American Airlines Center. El entrenador Mike Budenholzer dijo que Antetokounmpo no hizo ningún trabajo previo al juego y no indicó cuándo regresaría el cinco veces All-Star.

Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out his third consecutive due to soreness in his left knee. He had been listed as doubtful leading up to the Bucks-Mavs showdown.

The Bucks ruled out the two-time reigning NBA MVP about 90 minutes before tipoff at American Airlines Center. Coach Mike Budenholzer said Antetokounmpo didn’t do any pregame work and didn’t indicate when the five-time All-Star would return.

Milwaukee concluded a six-game, 11-day road trip with a physical 116-101 loss.

In 45 games this season, Antetokounmpo has averaged 28.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists
