Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetocounmpo will miss the game on Wednesday evening against the Denver Nuggets for a bricked -left foot.

Antetocounmpo has played in all 18 games since the All Star break, but missed 12 before the break before the break because it is with the right knee and left veal injuries.

The 30-year-old played 37 minutes on Monday evening in Milwaukees 108-106 against the suns in Phoenix. He scored 31 points on 12-of-19 shooting and pulled down 10 rebounds.

In the season, the twice the most valuable player is an average of 30.2 points (second in NBA) and 12.0 rebounds (sixth).

His absence is a double blow for the Bucks (40-31), who learned on Tuesday that Wachmann Damian Lillard delimited in his right veal indefinitely due to the deep venous thrombosis (blood clot).

Lillard is a nine-time all-star and in his second season with Milwaukee achieved an average of 24.9 points, 7.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.

The game Wednesday is important for both the Bucks and the Nuggets (45-28), which are pushing around the playoff position when the regular season comes to an end. The goats try to ward off the Detroit pistons for the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, while the nuggets are only half a game in front of the Memphis grizzlies for the third seed in the west.
