Bucks coach Doc Rivers expressed concern about the recurring issue, and Milwaukee’s playoff chances are fading as they sit 11th in the East. Antetokounmpo finished the game with 22 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists before leaving, with a return targeted for late February/early March.

Milwaukee sit 11th in the Eastern Conference amid a slump as the regular season nears its end around April 12, with coach Doc Rivers defending the decision to keep Giannis in after the early issue and Antetounmpo previously criticizing teammates for the poor form.
