Antetokounmpo is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a right calf strain, ESPN reported on Thursday, Dec. 4, and the longer end of that timeline would put his streak of all-NBA appearances in jeopardy due to the league's eligibility rule about playing a minimum of 65 games.

Antetokounmpo left Wednesday's game in the first quarter when he went down suddenly while heading back up the court after feeding AJ Green for a layup. The two-time MVP headed back to the locker room and the Bucks ruled him out for the game a short time later.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers told reporters during his postgame availability that Antetokounmpo was getting an MRI "right now." He added the team believed it was not an Achilles injury.
Antetokounmpo only recently returned from a strained adductor injury that cost him four games last month and has been the subject of trade rumors again this week.
