Bucks rule Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) out again for Game 3

MIAMI -- Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo missed his second straight game with a lower back contusion after he was ruled out for Milwaukee's Game 3 121-99 loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday night.

Antetokounmpo has not played since Sunday, when he injured his back falling to the ground after a collision with Miami's Kevin Love.
