MINNEAPOLIS — The Milwaukee Bucks entered their last matchup before the All-Star break against the Minnesota Timberwolves without their star players, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
Antetokounmpo has been sidelined for six consecutive games due to a strain in his left calf. It was already communicated that he would miss the All-Star festivities as well. On the other hand, Lillard was unable to participate in this game because of soreness in his right hamstring.
Currently, Lillard boasts an impressive season average of 25.8 points and 7.5 assists per game. On Tuesday, he was listed as probable on the injury report, but his status was changed to questionable just ahead of Wednesday’s game.
The Timberwolves also faced challenges, missing key players like Mike Conley, who has a sprained right index finger, as well as Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle, who are dealing with injuries to their toes and groin, respectively.
In the absence of their star players, Ryan Rollins stepped up as the starting point guard for the Bucks during this matchup against the Timberwolves.
