Teletovic’s condition was discovered when consulting with Bucks team physicians after he experienced unusual fatigue earlier this week. He will now undergo a 10-day rest period, followed by supervised rehabilitation.

Playing in his second season with the Bucks, Teletovic is averaging 7.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. He has also missed the last 16 games, including 10 after successful arthroscopic surgery to repair cartilage in his left knee.

Updates on Teletovic's condition are expected after he starts his rehabilitation.
