Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) ruled out for Bucks on Friday
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Friday.
What It Means:
Anteteokounmpo didn't even travel with the team. He was considered doubtful, so this doesn't come as any surprise. The Bucks haven't released any information regarding the severity of the injury, but for now, Jabari Parker is expected to start while Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton should see a boost.
Giannis is averaging 51.6 FanDuel points per game this season, with 27.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks per contest.
