CLEVELAND — Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of bruised right shoulder. Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 31.2 points and 11.4 rebounds this season, was not on the official injury report until 5:30 p.m. — two hours before tipoff against the Cavs, who have won five straight. The seven-time All-Star was also on the injury report Sunday before a game against Sacramento, but Antetokounmpo played and scored 27 points in Milwaukee's 143-142 overtime win. The 29-year-old had played in 29 game consecutive games, his longest streak since playing 31 straight in the 2020-21 season.
