Sources: Giannis Antetokounmpo out 1-2 weeks with groin strain

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo sustained a low-grade left groin strain and will miss one to two weeks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Tuesday.

It's a positive outcome after Antetokounmpo exited Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the injury. Bucks coach Doc Rivers called the injury "good news" in an interview with Bucks+.

Rivers said Antetokounmpo began favoring his groin as early as the first quarter in Monday's game and grabbed his left groin multiple times before he exited. With 3:03 remaining in the second quarter, Antetokounmpo hobbled up the court on defense before committing a foul and heading toward the Bucks' locker room.
