GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO OUT FOR TONIGHT’S GAME VS. TORONTO

MILWAUKEE (October 29, 2018) – Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol and will not play in tonight’s game vs. Toronto.

Antetokounmpo sustained a blow to the head in Saturday night’s win over Orlando. Bucks team physicians followed league protocols and consulted the league’s neurologist during the evaluation periods. Antetokounmpo passed his neurological tests that created significant doubt that it was a concussion and he was allowed to return to play.

Antetokounmpo was evaluated again yesterday and reported new symptoms along with a lingering headache. For that reason, he was placed into the concussion protocol and will miss tonight’s game vs. Toronto.

--Milwaukee Bucks--

Too bad. Takes a little bit of the luster away from tonight's game. Hopefully Giannis can return for Thursday's game in Boston.
