Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to miss Saturday’s game against the Heat as he continues to deal with a sore left knee, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Antetokounmpo has been listed as “day-to-day” with a sore knee and already missed a game against Miami on Thursday as a result of the injury. He was considered questionable to play on Saturday prior to Wojnarowski’s report.
Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP, is in the middle of another spectacular season in Milwaukee. In 35 games played this year, the 28-year-old is averaging a career-high 31 points, along with 11.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists. Despite injuries to running mates Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, Antetokounmpo has powered the Bucks to a 27–15 record, currently good enough for third in the Eastern Conference.
