The Bucks are getting Khris Middleton back on Sunday for the first time since February 6, but they won’t quite be whole yet. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link), Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss the afternoon showdown vs. the Suns in Milwaukee due to left hamstring soreness.
Head coach Doc Rivers initially said he expected Antetokounmpo to play, notes Eric Nehm of The Athletic (Twitter link). The Bucks star had been listed as questionable before being ruled out less than an hour before tip-off, so it doesn’t like an issue that will sideline him for an extended period. Milwaukee will be back in action on Wednesday in Boston, so Giannis will get a couple extra days to rest the injury.
