Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play in next weekend’s All-Star Game because of a strained left calf, meaning NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will have to pick a replacement.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers confirmed Antetokounmpo’s status Sunday, with the team ruling him out of a game against Philadelphia and indicating that he’ll likely also be out for games Monday at home against Golden State and Wednesday at Minnesota.

“We’ve just been monitoring it, and it just hasn’t improved enough for us to play him,” Rivers said. “If this was a playoff game, would he play? Probably yes. But this is not. And we want to make sure he’s playing in the playoffs.”

Antetokounmpo missed Milwaukee’s one-round appearance in last season’s playoffs with a left calf strain. The Bucks lost to Indiana in six games.

Antetokounmpo last played Feb. 2 in the Bucks’ 123-119 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. He was listed as unavailable due to right patella tendinopathy for the Bucks’ 125-96 loss at Oklahoma City the following night, and he’s been out with the calf issue ever since.

He missed a 112-102 victory at Charlotte on Wednesday and a 115-110 loss at Atlanta on Friday. He went through warmups in Charlotte, but was scratched just before the game.

Antetokounmpo was the leader in fan votes for the All-Star Game, which will be played in San Francisco on Feb. 16 with a new mini-tournament format.

Antetokounmpo was to play on Team Chuck, the eight-man squad drafted last week by TNT analyst Charles Barkley. Antetokounmpo was the fourth of the 24 players drafted by Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith to the All-Star rosters.

Team Chuck has a roster with a very international feel: Nikola Jokic of Serbia, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Canada, Victor Wembanyama of France, Pascal Siakam of Cameroon, Alperen Sengun of Turkey, Karl-Anthony Towns (whose mother is Dominican) and Donovan Mitchell (whose mother is from Panama).

The 30-year-old Antetokounmpo ranks second in the NBA in scoring (31.8) and fifth in rebounding (12.2) per game. Rivers is hoping Antetokounmpo can play when the Bucks get to post-All-Star matchups on Feb. 20.
