Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miss Game Against Raptors Due to Calf Strain

The absence marks the first missed game of the season for the two-time MVP, as the Bucks also face the loss of Jae Crowder to surgery.

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo, forward for the Milwaukee Bucks, will miss his first game of the season due to a strained right calf.
  • Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP, has played in each of the Bucks' first 10 games this season, averaging 29.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.
  • The Bucks will also be without Jae Crowder, who is having surgery to repair a left adductor and abdominal tear and is expected to be out for about eight weeks.
  • The Bucks are facing the Toronto Raptors, who recently made a comeback victory over the Washington Wizards after trailing by 23 points.
  • Without Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will rely on players like Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton to pick up more of the usage slack.
