"Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to miss around two to four weeks with a right calf strain, according to an ESPN report. The injury occurred less than three minutes into Wednesday night's win over the Detroit Pistons. Antetokounmpo collapsed without contact as he tried to get back on defense and immediately reached for his lower right leg. Teammates helped him to his feet, and he walked gingerly to the bench before heading to the locker room."
"Antetokounmpo, 30, recently missed four games with a left groin strain but had played Milwaukee's previous three contests. The setback came hours after ESPN reported that Antetokounmpo is weighing his future with the Bucks. Charania reported that he and his agent, Alex Saratsis, have been in dialogue with the team about whether Milwaukee remains the ideal long-term fit for the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player."
