The Bucks will be without reigning NBA MVP Antetokounmpo for Saturday’s clash against the Orlando Magic, the team announced.
Antetokounmpo sat out Milwaukee’s 112-86 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday because of his back problem.
“He did some work earlier today and he is making progress. I think he is very close,” Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters pre-game on Saturday.
“Just not ready to go or not capable tonight. We’ll hope that not playing tonight and another day without a game, he will return soon.”
This season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.5 points, 12.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game for the league-leading Bucks (28-5).
