Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns because of left hamstring soreness.
Antetokounmpo is missing his first game since March 4 against the LA Clippers, when he did not play because of a left Achilles issue.
Antetokounmpo’s absence comes as the Bucks get wing Khris Middleton back. Middleton is in the starting lineup for his first game after missing more than a month with a left ankle sprain.
The Bucks enter Sunday with a one-game lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
