Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic missed five straight games due to an ankle injury. But when he returned against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, he didn't show any signs of rust at all. In fact, Jokic made NBA history as he made easy work of a Bucks team missing the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player of the Milwaukee Bucks, but a former NBA All-Star believes they should part ways with the Greek forward. This week, the Milwaukee Bucks received devastating news with the confirmation of Damian Lillard’s season-ending injury.

Now comes news that Giannis Antetokounmpo will need to miss time, too. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, the Bucks star will be out of the game against Denver. Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot sprain) is out tonight vs Denver Nuggets.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets because of a sprained left foot. Antetokounmpo has played in all 18 games since the All-Star break but missed 12 before the break due to right knee and left calf injuries.
