The Milwaukee Bucks are grappling with a challenging period, having lost three consecutive games following star player Giannis Antetokounmpos low-grade left groin strain. Giannis is expected to be sidelined for one to two weeks, adding to his previous knee discomfort that caused him to miss two games. The teams offensive rating plummets from a league-high 123.5 to a league-low 102.1 without him. With Giannis out, players like Ryan Rollins, who scored 32 points in their first game without him, will need to step up. The Bucks are adopting a next man up mentality, aiming to contribute more in their stars absence.
