The Milwaukee Bucks go into the NBA All-Star break on a 12-win streak, but worry about star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The top team from the Eastern Conference scored 112:100 against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday evening (02/16/2023). However, the Greek injured his wrist early in the second quarter and was unable to continue playing. It was initially unclear whether he could travel to Salt Lake City for the All-Star Game and participate there.

With the win, the Bucks are just a tiny bit behind leaders Boston Celtics. Both teams have lost 17 games so far, but the Celtics have one more game to their credit. In the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets are in first place, followed by the Memphis Grizzlies, some way behind.
