The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.
The star power will mostly be on the sideline.
Giannis Antetokounmpo won't play for the Bucks.
The Hornets are still without LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.

Giannis Antetokounmpo injury update
Antetokounmpo was ruled out Wednesday afternoon due to a knee injury.
He played on Monday night when the Bucks beat the Mavericks.
Milwaukee actually comes right back with an NBA Cup game against the Hornets on Friday. Friday's game will be followed immediately by a Saturday night clash with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Bucks likely are just being cautious with their superstar.
This season, Giannis is averaging 33.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game while shooting 62.9% from the field and 50.0% from 3-point range.
The Bucks will certainly miss him, and they'll hope his absence doesn't last too long.
The lack of Giannis should mean more minutes for both Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis. And when the Greek Freak has missed time earlier this season, it has meant big scoring days for guard Ryan Rollins.
