The Milwaukee Bucks reportedly will be without their best player for Monday’s game against the Golden State Warriors at Fiserv Forum.

As Charania mentioned, Antetokounmpo, who was selected to his ninth NBA All-Star Game this season, also will miss the festivities next weekend in San Francisco.

In 41 games this season, Antetokounmpo is averaging a career-high 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game on 60.8-percent shooting from the field.

Without Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will rely on veteran point guard Damian Lillard and newly acquired forward Kyle Kuzma for scoring in Monday’s game against the Warriors.
