Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Game 5 against the Miami Heat with a right ankle sprain.

Antetokounmpo originally sprained his ankle in Game 3 and re-aggravated it in Game 4.

The quick turnaround between games didn’t give the ankle enough time to heal and they don’t want to risk further injury.

The 25-year-old was previously a game-time decision and went through some pregame work including riding a stationary bike and getting some shots up.

The Bucks managed to pull out an overtime win in Game 4 without Antetokounmpo in the second half, but that will be a tall task to repeat that feat.
