Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.2 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game this season.

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Saturday’s primetime clash against the Warriors (8:30, ABC) with a sore right hand.

A two-time winner, Antetokounmpo is once again a leading candidate for the Kia NBA MVP award, averaging 31.2 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists as the Bucks enter Saturday’s game with a 2.5-game lead over Boston and Denver for the best overall record.

It will mark Antetokounmpo’s third straight absence and 15th overall. The Buck won both recent games and are 9-5 without their leading scorer and rebounder this season.
