Today, the Bucks challenge the Hornets away from home. Antetokounmpo (left knee tendonitis) will miss the game.
Head coach Rivers talked about why he decided to let Antetokounmpo rest. He said: "The schedule is too dense. Aren't we playing five games a week? This is too much. We studied it before the start of the season. If we want him to rest, this game is the most suitable because it is right in the middle. You can let him rest for four days. "It's a bit difficult this time because we were not sure at the beginning. I actually wanted him to rest. I even tried to persuade him not to play before the shooting training. But from a health point of view, I think this is the right decision."source:7n cm
