Antetokounmpo will be missing his third game this season with the same ailment, having sat out a Nov. 22 contest at Phoenix and a Dec. 23 matchup in Charlotte.
Named an Eastern Conference starter for next month’s All-Star Game, Antetokounmpo is second in league scoring with 28.2 points per game to go along with 10.1 rebounds.
Due to his knee issues, he was forced to miss last September’s Eurobasket.
