Giannis Antetokounmpo said he’s healthy enough to play and the Bucks are sitting him out against his wishes. Notable quotes from Giannis, via @eric_nehm: "You know who you are dealing with. So for somebody to come and tell me to not play or not to compete, it’s like a slap in my face. So, I don’t know where the relationship goes from there." "I’m available to play, but I’m not in the game. I’m available to play today. Right now. I’m available. Do I look like I’m not available? … I don’t see myself in the first 12. I don’t see myself in the starting lineup. I don’t know what game is being played right here, I just don’t wanna be a part of it." "I've never seen a case of my caliber of player saying it publicly: I want to f–-ing play. You know what I’m saying? I don’t think I’ve seen this. So, if there needs to be an investigation, great. There should be. I don’t know. There should be. Until we figure something out."

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely due to a left hamstring injury, sources tell me and @mcten. He will miss the remainder of the regular season and his status is uncertain beyond that.

@nbastats how is this a Giddey AST? He attempted a tip, this was not a controlled pass. This should be a Miller offensive rebound and put back. Not a Josh Giddey AST. Terrible.
