All things considered, Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetekounmpo had a productive night on Tuesday, albeit in a 123-97 loss at home at the hands of the Miami Heat. However, the fact that he did not take a single free-throw attempt can be hard to believe. But that was exactly what happened in the Heat game.
Via the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 23 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the Bucks but didn’t attempt a free throw all night. The last time Antetokounmpo appeared in a game without getting to the foul line was in a 128-99 victory over the Heat on Feb. 24, 2023, when he only played six minutes before leaving with a knee issue.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo Was 0-For-0 From The Foul Line In Loss To The Heat
What makes Antetokounmpo’s absolute lack of tries from the foul line is that he is one of the most prolific free-throw shooters in the entire league. Only Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid has a higher average in free-throw attempts per contest so far in the 2023-24 NBA regular season with 11.9. Antetekounmpo is not that far behind with 11.0 per outing.
It was just another reminder of the oddness of the Milwaukee Bucks-Miami Heat’s encounter. Many people did not give the Heat much of a chance against the Milwaukee Bucks, considering that Miami played without Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, and Josh Richardson. The Bucks also entered the game on a roll, having won their previous two outings, including one against the reigning NBA champions Denver Nuggets.
