Giannis Antetokounmpo Still Sidelined; Kevin Porter Jr. To Practice With G League Team

The Bucks were hoping to have Giannis Antetokounmpo back in time for tonight’s NBA Cup contest in Miami, but the team announced shortly before tip-off that he’s missing a fourth straight game with a low-grade groin strain. He was listed as questionable heading into the game.
The Bucks assigned Kevin Porter Jr. to their G League affiliate as he continues to work his way back from meniscus surgery. The Wisconsin Herd don’t play again until Sunday, so he’ll likely just be practicing with the team, per Eric Nehm of The Athletic (Twitter link).
