Troy Tinch added 17 points and five rebounds, Ignacio Nascimento-Zschaeck knocked down three threes on his way to 14 points, and Senique Jenkins nearly posted a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds. Brandon Waters added 14 points.

NBA

Bucks star is going to miss some time

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers says he expects Giannis Antetokounmpo’s groin strain to keep the two-time MVP out for “probably two weeks.”

Rivers discussed the injury Tuesday while speaking on the “Courtside with Gale Klappa” podcast. The left groin strain caused Antetokounmpo to leave during the second quarter of the Bucks’ 118-106 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.

The 30-year-old Antetokounmpo is ranked fourth in the NBA in scoring (31.2), seventh in rebounding (10.8) and 15th in assiss (6.8).
