Giannis Antetokounmpo Set for MRI on Calf Injury; Achilles Ruled Out

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is scheduled for an MRI on his injured right calf Wednesday night. Head coach Doc Rivers indicated that the team's medical staff has ruled out a more severe Achilles injury, as reported by Eric Nehm of The Athletic. The initial diagnosis points to a calf strain, which could still lead to a multi-game absence. Should Antetokounmpo miss time, Kevin Porter and Ryan Rollins are expected to handle offensive duties, with Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma seeing increased minutes.
