First reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Thanasis Antetokounmpo will be sidelined for tonight’s matchup between the Bucks and the Suns after abruptly entering the league’s health and safety protocols.

Antetokounmpo has not been a big part of the Milwaukee Bucks’ rotation in the postseason, however, he is an energy guy for the Bucks’ bench, even when he is not playing.

The Bucks will miss Antetotokounmpo’s energy from the bench, and his hustle plays in the limited time he was called to play so far in the postseason.

With the news recently just coming out, the circumstances involving Thanasis Antetokounmpo remain behind closed doors, but this does not bode well for his chance to potentially return to the court in this series.
