Greg Monroe will sit out Sunday's game against the Sixers for rest.
Monroe will sit out Sunday's game against the Sixers for rest, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis:
The Bucks have nothing left to play for, as they've long been eliminated from the playoffs, so Monroe will get the night off to reduce the late season strain on his body. Miles Plumlee is expected to move into the starting lineup in his place and should see an increase in minutes, while John Henson is also a candidate to see increased playing time. Monroe will likely be back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Magic.
