Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out For Clash With Boston

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) won't play against Boston on Wednesday.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (medical illness) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Pacers.

Quentin Grimes Misses Fourth Straight Game

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's matchup against Indiana. The 23-year-old has played in only two of the past nine games as he continues to deal with a right knee issue.
