Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss a game for the first time this season on Wednesday when he sits out against the host Toronto Raptors.
Antetokounmpo initially was listed as probable due to a strained right calf. The two-time NBA MVP boasts team-leading averages in points (29.5) and rebounds (9.6) to go along with 3.6 assists in 10 games this season.
Reserves Bobby Portis and MarJon Beauchamp could see additional playing time in his absence for the Bucks, who dropped a 130-111 decision to the Raptors on Nov. 1.
