Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play Sunday against the Phoenix Suns because of a quad injury, coach Mike Budenholzer said.
He will be replaced in the lineup by Bobby Portis.
Antetokounmpo sustained the injury Friday night in the first quarter of the Bucks’ 128-99 victory over the Miami Heat. He played six minutes on Friday and had four points, four rebounds and four assists.
“It’s enough where he can’t play today, but I think we’re also confident that this is a fairly common occurrence in our league,” Budenholzer told reporters. “You hit knees, you knock, sometimes it takes a day or two and it’s really nothing more than that. The level of conversations have all been along that line.”
The victory was the Bucks’ 13th in a row, marking the longest winning streak in the NBA this season.
Antetokounmpo is ranked fourth in the NBA with 31.3 points per game and second in rebounding with 12 per game.
