Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) out Saturday; Pat Connaughton cleared to return

MINNEAPOLIS - Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with right knee soreness, coach Mike Budenholzer announced prior to the game.

Budenholzer said Antetokounmpo got hit in the knee during the first quarter of Milwaukee's last game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, but he finished the game with 36 points and 10 rebounds and played nearly 35 minutes. However, the Bucks decided to remain cautious with Antetokounmpo with hope to have him back in the lineup for the team's next game on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls.
