Milwaukee has ruled out Giannis due to a right calf strain that he suffered in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets and he is expected to miss at least four weeks due to the injury.
With Giannis sidelined, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis could both be in line for increased roles moving forward.
The Bucks have also ruled out Porter Jr. due to a right oblique muscle strain as he will miss his third consecutive contest.
