Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing Tonight vs Pistons? Bucks Issue Injury Report for 6x All-Star

The Milwaukee Bucks are headed to Detroit to take on the Pistons tonight. This is the second game of their three-game trip. They lost their first contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers 114-102, playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo. This loss was their third loss in the last five games.
