Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns due to left hamstring pain.
Antetokounmpo misses his first game since March 4 against the Los Angeles Clipperswhile he did not play due to a left Achilles problem.
Antetokounmpo absence comes as Bucks take wing Khris Middleton back. Middleton is in the starting lineup for his first game after missing more than a month with a sprained left ankle.
The Bucks enter Sunday with a one-game lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
