Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo out for game with right calf strain

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo crumpled to the court with a noncontact injury about three minutes into the first quarter of Wednesday night's 113-109 win over the Detroit Pistons at Fiserv Forum.

Antetokounmpo was ruled out for the rest of the game before the end of the first quarter with what the Bucks called a right calf strain. Head coach Doc Rivers said afterward that Antetokounmpo was sent for an MRI.

After delivering a jump pass for an assist to Bucks guard AJ Green with 9 minutes remaining in the opening period, Antetokounmpo fell to the floor while trying to get back on defense and remained on the court.
