The Milwaukee Bucks will welcome the Phoenix Suns to Fiserv Forum for an NBA game on Sunday. The Bucks won 100-112 in their last game over the Bulls. Giannis Antetokounmpo stayed on the ground, grimacing in pain before heading to the locker room. A sprained wrist in the early going ended his night. Not before he set yet another franchise record. Antetokounmpo became Milwaukee’s career assists leader before getting injured, and the Bucks won their 12th straight, beating the Chicago Bulls 112-100 on Thursday night. Brook Lopez scored a season-high 33 points.
Jevon Carter had 22 against his hometown team, and Jrue Holiday added 15 points and nine assists. The Bucks were never seriously threatened. But Antetokounmpo’s injury early in the second quarter cast a bit of a cloud over a team that otherwise has so much going for it heading into the All-Star break. Coach Mike Budenholzer said initial reports were “hopeful” and the X-ray was “clean.” “We’ll just see how he feels tomorrow, see how he feels the next few days and continue to evaluate it,” Budenholzer said. He had “no idea” if Antetokounmpo would travel to Salt Lake City for the All-Star Game.
The Phoenix Suns on the other hand lost 107-116 against the Clippers in their last game. The Suns missed nine of their first 10 3-point attempts, with only Josh Okogie warming up later in the game. Okogie led Phoenix with 24 points. He was 6 of 12 from behind the arc, but the rest of the Suns made five combined.
“It feels good without having to look over your shoulder when you mess up,” said Okogie, whose recent performances have put him in the running to join Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Deandre Ayton in Phoenix’s starting lineup when Durant returns from a knee injury.
“Coach (Monty Williams) told me, ‘I don’t care if you miss eight in a row. I won’t take you out for missing but I will take you out for not shooting.’” Booker had 19 points and nine assists for Phoenix. Ayton scored 18 points and newcomer Terrance Ross had 16 points. Booker was 1 of 6 from 3-point range, but tied Steve Nash’s franchise record with 1,051 3s. Paul had 11 assists, two nights after having a season-high 19 against Sacramento.
