Giannis Antetokounmpo sustained a right wrist sprain in the first half, putting a damper on the Milwaukee Bucks’ twelfth-straight victory, and first of the season over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. Brook Lopez scored a game-high 33 on 13/18 shooting plus four blocks, while Nikola Vucevic had 20 for the home team.
Milwaukee came out firing behind Brook Lopez’s 15 first-quarter points, connecting on seven of their first sixteen threes and building a double-digit lead. Up 34-24 entering the second, Giannis exited after barely a minute with what appeared to be a right wrist injury sustained after falling into the stanchion.
