Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Monday night's showdown against the host Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right knee injury.

For Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out due to right patella tendinopathy. The former MVP has been dealing with knee soreness in recent weeks, and the team has opted for caution, prioritizing long-term health.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton won’t be available for Milwaukee against Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City on Monday night, the Bucks' second game in two days. The Bucks said Monday that Antetokounmpo and Middleton wouldn’t be playing at the Thunder.
