PHILADELPHIA — Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo shook off knee tendinitis and was in the starting lineup Wednesday night for Milwaukee's opening night game against Philadelphia. The Bucks did scratch forward Khris Middleton night in a game devoid of anticipated star power with Joel Embiid and Paul George sitting out for the 76ers. A three-time All-Star, Middleton hasn't had any 5-on-5 work in the preseason as he recovers from offseason surgeries to each of his ankles. The Bucks once again have one of the league's top trios in Antetokounmpo, seven-time all-NBA guard Damian Lillard and Middleton.
