It's a positive outcome after Antetokounmpo exited Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the injury. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo began favoring his groin as early as the first quarter in Monday's game and grabbed his left groin multiple times before he exited."
"Antetokounmpo has enjoyed one of the best starts of his career as he's averaged 32.6 points on 63% shooting with 11.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists in his first 12 games this season. With their superstar absent, the Bucks were outscored 59-49 and shot just 38.6% after halftime against the Cavs as they dropped back-to-back games for the first time this season."
