Giannis Antetokounmpo shines despite team's challenges, while Khris Middleton's injury adds to lineup woes.

The Milwaukee Bucks faced a challenging 10-day West Coast trip, losing four out of five games, including a recent defeat against the Phoenix Suns.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's relentless effort highlighted the Bucks' performance, scoring 34 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists against the Suns despite the team's struggles.
Khris Middleton sustained a left ankle sprain during the game against the Suns, further impacting the Bucks' lineup already missing Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez.
