Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo missed his second consecutive game following the birth of his son.

Antetokounmpo sat out Monday's 123-111 win over the Sacramento Kings and the reigning NBA MVP was again absent for Wednesday's clash against the Indiana Pacers.

The NBA-leading Bucks (46-7) are eyeing their 15th victory in 16 games prior to the All-Star break in Chicago.

Antetokounmpo will captain Team Giannis against a roster selected by LeBron James in the All-Star Game this weekend.

The 25-year-old 'Greek Freak' is averaging 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game this season.
