Story Highlights:

Antetokounmpo was given a rest as he suffered left knee patellar tendinopathy

Bucks are 7th in the Eastern Conference with a 7-5 record

The Milwaukee Bucks were without their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, during their recent loss to the Charlotte Hornets with a score of 100-111. The franchise is 7th in the Eastern Conference with a 7-5 record. The Bucks are set to meet the Hornets again, and this time, in the NBA Cup, which is a part of an in-season tournament. 

Antetokounmpo was given a rest as he suffered left knee patellar tendinopathy. In his absence, Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting, going 4 for 6 on 3-pointers. However, this couldn't save the Bucks from an embarrassing loss. It seems like the Greek star is much needed for the rematch between the two teams as the Bucks try to take revenge. Will he be available against the Hornets on November 14?
