Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) will not play for Bucks Sunday against Atlanta
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (right ankle sprain) will not play Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks.
Antetokounmpo has been battling the ankle issue for a few weeks and he aggravated it on Thursday, so the Bucks will err on the side of caution with their MVP hopeful. Milwaukee's starting five on Sunday: Tim Frazier, Sterling Brown, Bonzie Colson, D.J. Wilson, Brook Lopez.
Giannis is averaging 27.4 points, 12.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.5 blocks, 0.7 triples, and 55.9 FanDuel points per contest.
