The Bucks have been very careful with Giannis Antetokounmpo since the All-Star break. Before the break, he suffered a calf strain that caused him to miss a few games. Since then, they have been monitoring his minutes and his calf. A calf strain is what caused him to miss the playoffs last year against the Pacers.

With a layup at the 9:51 mark of the third quarter, Antetokounmpo became the sixth youngest player in NBA history to reach the exclusive 20,000-point club, with only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, and Michael Jordan to have reached it at an earlier age.

Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are looking to take on Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, and the Dallas Mavericks tonight. After adding Lillard to their roster last season, the Milwaukee Bucks underperformed and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Indiana Pacers.
