The 2-time Kia NBA MVP will be out for Wednesday's game against Chicago.

The Milwaukee Bucks will be without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls (7:30 ET, ESPN) due to right knee soreness, coach Mike Budenholzer announced prior to the game.

The Bucks (57-22) can secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and home-court advantage throughout the entire NBA Playoffs with a win against Chicago on Wednesday (or a loss by Boston against Toronto).

Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists over 63 games this season.
