Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton are out for Milwaukee #Bucks as they take on the Washington #Wizards at Fiserv Forum tonight.
Former #Badgers star Johnny Davis did not make the trip in, so his homecoming will be deferred.

The Bucks, already without Jrue Holiday (non-COVID illness) and Khris Middleton (right knee soreness), have listed Giannis Antetokounmpo as questionable with knee soreness for tonight’s Wizards game in MKE.
Beal (hamstring) and Gibson (groin) still questionable for the Wiz. – 4:41 PM
