Giannis Antetokounmpo is missing his first game of the season as the Milwaukee Bucks face the Golden State Warriors. The two-time MVP was listed as probable in the Bucks’ Thursday afternoon injury report because of left knee soreness. But the Bucks announced about an hour before the opening tip that he wouldn’t be available. Antetokounmpo has averaged 36.3 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists through the Bucks’ first four games of the season. He entered Thursday night’s action ranked second in the league in scoring and rebounding.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reaffirmed that he’s “locked in” with the Milwaukee Bucks while acknowledging the possibility that could eventually change depending on how things develop over the next several months. The two-time MVP said that “I’ve always wanted to be in Milwaukee, always wanted to represent the city, as long as we have the opportunity to win.” He added that “now if in six, seven months I change my mind, that’s human, too. ”
