Giannis Antetokounmpo to Sit Out vs. Kings After Son's Birth

Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will be out against the Kings on Monday night, but the reigning MVP's absence will be a celebratory one.

Antetokounmpo is missing the matchup in Milwaukee as he celebrates the birth of his son, Liam Charles Antetokounmpo. Giannis announced the news via Twitter.

"I have no information on the whereabouts of Baby Freak or when Baby Freak is going to be here, but I know from the entire Bucks organization, we're hoping for nothing but a healthy and happy mother and baby," Bucks vice president Alex Lasry said on Monday, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard.
