Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) ruled out for Bucks Saturday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play Saturday in the team's game against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo was listed as doubtful to play due to his knee issue, so this isn't a surprise. Four of the five members of the starting lineup are out, so this will be a tough matchup for the Bucks. Look for Pat Connaughton to see extra minutes in Antetokounmpo's absence.
In 42 games this season, Antetokounmpo has averaged 28.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.3 blocks and 55.3 FanDuel points.
