Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will be sidelined for at least one more week and will miss the NBA All-Star Game due to a left calf strain, ESPN reported Sunday.
Per the report, the power forward is expected to return to action shortly after All-Star break. The game is scheduled to be played Feb. 16 in San Francisco.
Antetokounmpo, 30, has missed Milwaukee’s past three games due to injury and won’t play Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The first was due to a right knee injury and the rest because of the calf injury.
The two-time NBA MVP hasn’t played since Feb. 2, when he saw 37 minutes of action in a 132-119 home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. He had 30 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
Antetokounmpo ranks second in the NBA in scoring (31.8 points per game) and fifth in rebounding (12.2) in 41 games. He was recently chosen to his ninth consecutive All-Star Game.
