Report: Giannis out 1-2 weeks with groin strain
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss one-to-two weeks due to a groin strain, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Antetokounmpo suffered the injury Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, limiting him to just 13 minutes in the 118-16 loss.
"I don't know what grade it is, but I know it's not a bad one," Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday of Antetokounmpo's diagnosis, according to ESPN Milwaukee. "That's good news for us. ... Probably two weeks he'll be out - hopefully less."
The former MVP is averaging 31.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 6.8 assists in 13 starts this season. He leads the NBA in field goals per game, hitting 12 of 19.1 attempts on average. His 62.9% field-goal percentage ranks eighth in the league.
Milwaukee has essentially been a different team without Antetokounmpo on the floor. His 7.1 on-court net rating is best of any Buck who's played at least 10 total minutes this season. When the nine-time All-Star rests, the team's net rating drops to minus-11.9, the worst off-court mark involving any Bucks player.
