The Boston Celtics may avoid Giannis Antetokounmpo when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
The Bucks announced Sunday that Antetokounmpo suffered a minor joint capsule sprain in his left knee during Friday night's game vs. the Los Angeles Lakers. As a result, he will miss at least the final two games of Milwaukee's current road trip.
