Bucks 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.

Antetokounmpo missed Sunday’s game against the 76ers and likely will also be out for games Monday against the Warriors and Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

“We’ve just been monitoring it, and it just hasn’t improved enough for us to play him,” Bucks coach Doc 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 the Bucks’ one-round appearance in last season’s playoffs with a left calf strain.

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

He missed a 112-102 victory against the Hornets on Wednesday and a 115-110 loss to the Hawks on Friday. He went through warmups ahead of the former game, 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 Charles Barkley. Antetokounmpo was the fourth of the 24 players drafted by Barkley and fellow TNT analysts Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith to the All-Star rosters.

The 30-year-old Antetokounmpo ranks second in the NBA in scoring (31.8) and fifth in rebounding (12.2) per game.

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).

It’s possible that Silver may have to make another decision on an All-Star replacement in the coming days as well. Anthony Davis left his Mavericks debut on Saturday after feeling what he described as tightness in his groin and quadriceps area.

Davis has also been dealing with an abdominal strain, one that kept him out of his final two games with the Lakers before the trade and the first two he could have played with the Mavs.

“It’s nothing serious,” Davis said.

Lakers-Hornets deal off: The Lakers rescinded their trade to acquire Mark Williams from the Hornets after the center failed his physical.

The deal was scrapped “due to failure to satisfy a condition of the trade,” the Lakers announced in a brief statement Saturday night. The Lakers agreed to trade rookie Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish along with draft considerations on Wednesday night to get Williams, a third-year center.
