MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo won’t play in the Milwaukee Bucks’ game against the Phoenix Suns because of what the team is describing as a bruised right quadriceps. That means neither team will have its MVP available for the matchup. Kevin Durant remains out for Phoenix because of a sprained right medial collateral ligament and hasn’t played since Jan. 8, when he was still with the Brooklyn Nets. Antetokounmpo left the Bucks’ 128-99 victory over the Miami Heat on Friday in the first quarter after team officials said he knocked knees with an opposing player.
