On Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks beаt San Antonio 132-119. Damian Lillard scored 40 points, which was the highest score of the season and took his career total over 20,000. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a triple-double, and the Bucks easily beаt the Spurs.

Due to a sоre right ankle, Wembanyama did not play in the game. The 7-foot-3 youngster had only missed two games before this one.

Before the game, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said, “I don’t think we plan for it to be long-term or anything.”

It was Antetokounmpo’s 37th triple-double of the season and his 16th of his career. He also had 14 rebounds and 11 points, which was the fewest points he’s scored all season. When the Celtics beаt the Hawks 132-121 on December 2, he got his other triple-double.

Lillard scored 20,034 points in his career, making him the 51st person in NBA history and the eighth current player to do so. Lillard was playing in his 794th game, making him the 17th fastest player in NBA history to Һit that mark.

The other players still in the NBA who have scored at least 20,000 points are Kevin Durant, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, and Chris Paul.
