The Bucks continue to be put to the test by the injury bug.
In Milwaukee's last game before All-Star weekend, superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a right wrist sprain that was expected to keep him out for a few games after the break.
Antetokounmpo was surprisingly cleared to play in the Bucks' first game back against the Heat on Feb. 24, but he suffered a different injury that forced him to leave the game early on.

How long will Giannis Antetokounmpo be out?
The severity of Antetokounmpo's right knee injury is still to be determined.
He was originally listed as questionable for Feb. 24's game against the Heat with a right wrist sprain but returned to the starting lineup earlier than expected. On Feb. 20, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported this on Antetokounmpo's wrist sprain.
