Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) will not play for Bucks Tuesday versus Lakers
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
The Lakers ruled LeBron James out with a groin injury, so the Bucks may have been more inclined to give Antetokounmpo the night off as double-digit favorites at home. Tony Snell will be in line for a start while Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe figure to be asked to do more on offense for Milwaukee.
Giannis is averaging 56.1 FanDuel points per game this season, with career-bests in points (27.5 points), rebounds (12.7), and assists (6.0).
