Milwaukee Bucks All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is sitting out Monday's road game against the Chicago Bulls due to a right knee injury. Antetokounmpo scored 27 points in 33 minutes in Saturday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. It wasn't known that he was dealing with knee soreness until the Bucks listed him as doubtful during the day on Monday.

The team formally ruled him out about two hours before tipoff. The MVP candidate is averaging 27.2 points and 12.7 rebounds per game.

Forward Otto Porter Jr. (leg) and point guard Kris Dunn (migraine) were ruled out for the Bulls, as well.
