It's a suspension that hurts the depth of a Bucks team that has a history of having its superstars miss games. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have missed multiple games this season due to various injuries. Antetokounmpo was asked about the Portis suspension and what his thoughts on them were. He gave a very honest answer.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: "I think everybody was surprised, because I've been around Bobby, and I know he's not a guy that ever take any illegal substance."

Portis is one of the league's top bench producers, and he adds even more intangibles. Milwaukee will need other players to step up.
