"Although Milwaukee's injury report initially had listed Antetokounmpo as questionable due to injury management of his right calf, the team later ruled him out because of a left ankle sprain. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said at his pregame availability that the issue stemmed from the Bucks' 112-105 loss to Miami on Thursday night."
"The Bucks are playing on back-to-back days; they return home to face the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Antetokounmpo hasn't played on consecutive days since returning on March 2 from a right calf strain. This represents the highest total of games Antetokounmpo has missed in any season during his 13-year career."
Giannis Antetokounmpo was ruled out for the Milwaukee Bucks' game against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday due to a left ankle sprain sustained during Thursday's loss to Miami. Initially listed as questionable for injury management of his right calf, the team changed his status to out. Coach Doc Rivers confirmed the ankle injury occurred in the previous night's 112-105 defeat. With the Bucks playing back-to-back games before facing Indiana on Sunday, Antetokounmpo was held out to avoid consecutive-day play. This marks his 31st missed game this season, the highest total in his 13-year NBA career.
