Reigning NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out of the Milwaukee Bucks’ road matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Bucks are calling it “right knee soreness” for the two-time MVP and one-time Defensive Player of the Year.
It will be the 12th time Antetokounmpo has missed a game due to injury this season, with the 27-year-old previously playing 59 of a possible 70 before today.
Antetokounmpo is currently third-favourite in both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year odds, averaging a career-high 29.8 points per game, along with 11.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
Giannis is OUT vs. Timberwolves with right knee soreness.
