Giannis Antetokounmpo out, Khris Middleton exits as Bucks seek 1-seed

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks were without star Giannis Antetokounmpo for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls, which came on the second night of a back-to-back.

Antetokounmpo was listed as probable on the team's injury report with right knee soreness leading up to the game and took the court for a shortened version of his regular pregame routine before being ruled out.

The Bucks, looking to clinch the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and best record in the NBA with a victory Wednesday night, were also without guards Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen.
