Giannis Antetokounmpo out for nationally televised game against Pelicans

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- It will be a big challenge for the Milwaukee Bucks as they try to win their 16th game in a row Wednesday night, Dec. 11. 

They'll have to do it without their superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo. The team announced Giannis won't play against the New Orleans Pelicans because of soreness in his right quad. 

That's really all the team is saying at this time. There's no indication that this is a long-term issue.
