Wrist issue won’t keep Antetokounmpo out of Bucks’ lineup

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo was in the Milwaukee Bucks’ starting lineup just four days after traveling to New York to get his injured right wrist examined. Antetokounmpo sprained his right wrist Feb. 16 as the Bucks won 120-100 at Chicago in their last game before the All-Star break. He played only 20 seconds in Sunday’s All-Star Game while having the wrist wrapped. But the two-time MVP didn’t have the wrist bandaged as he worked out Friday before the Bucks’ game with the Miami Heat. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer described Antetokounmpo’s rapid progress over the last week as “unbelievable.”
