Bayless to start for Bucks as Antetokounmpo serves suspension

The start of the NBA's regular season means suspensions from last spring's playoffs must be served - which is why Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Wednesday's opener against the New York Knicks.

Antetokounmpo was levied the punishment after hitting the Chicago Bulls' Mike Dunleavy with a shoulder to the gut during a playoff series victory last May.

Jerryd Bayless will start at shooting guard in the "Greek Freak's" place, as the Bucks find themselves shorthanded with O.J. Mayo out as well with a hamstring injury.
