One day after he scored 40 points and the game-winning layup against Charlotte, Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out Thursday’s game at Toronto.
The struggling Raptors took advantage behind 29 points from Fred VanVleet in a 97-93 victory.
Antetokounmpo was resting a sore right calf, and it isn’t clear if he will return for Saturday’s game when the Miami Heat visit the Fiserv Forum.
Jrue Holiday scored 26 points and Khris Middleton had 22.
Bobby Portis Junior contributed a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds, but Milwaukee still tasted defeat for the first time since November 14th.
The loss means Milwaukee is alone in fourth place in the N-B-A Eastern Conference standings, two games behind Brooklyn.
