Antetokounmpo didn't appear in Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns due to a bruised right quadriceps. The Bucks defeated the team 104-101, marking their 14th consecutive victory.

The MVP started Friday's game after suffering a sprained right wrist on Feb. 16. He only played 20 seconds in the All-Star Game and then traveled to New York to have his wrist examined. He was able to recover and play Friday, the Associated Press reports.
