MILWAUKEE, WI — By the time the Milwaukee Bucks take the floor against the Sacramento Kings tonight, Feb. 10, NBA All Star and MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will be out.

That is because Antetokounmpo will be spending time with his new son.

Antetokounmpo on Monday afternoon tweeted a picture of his newborn son, saying: "Liam Charles Antetokounmpo in the house." He posted a picture of his son on Twitter, with his son's face obscured with a baby emoji. Charles is the name of Antetokounmpo's father. It goes without saying that Liam's middle name is in honor of his late grandfather, who died in 2017 at the age of 54.
