The Milwaukee Bucks are without franchise superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo for a few weeks as his calf soreness has been upgraded to a calf strain. So far Milwaukee is 2-2 without Giannis with a chance to go 3-2 without him ahead of the All-Star Break in Minnesota on Wednesday night.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti start the latest Gyro Step by discussing All-Star Weekend a bit including the rising profile of the three-point contest before diving into what they’ve seen from Kyle Kuzma in his Bucks tenure thus far and why they’re excited to see him play with Giannis. They also cover the KPJ debut and other rotational patterns Doc Rivers has put on display including not playing Jericho Sims yet. Jon Horst’s comments to media on the Khris Middleton trade and more were discussed, and they somehow forgot to talk about Damian Lillard until the very end. Truly a Giannis level of implied greatness.
