Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Miss Friday’s Contest
4 years agoMilwaukee Bucks power forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Bulls due to a sprained right ankle. The move does not come as a surprise after Milwaukee held Antetokounmpo out for the remainder of Thursday's contest after spraining his ankle just a minute into action. Khris Middleton went on to see an elevated offensive workload, while Bobby Portis was able to log a double-double off the bench. When given the opportunity, Portis has proven himself both an adept DFS and short-term streamer option, especially with the reigning two-time MVP sidelined. Antetokounmpo's next chance to return to action comes Sunday against Brooklyn.
