"My guess is he hyperextended his knee, but I'm guessing," Bucks coach Doc Rivers said, indicating uncertainty about the exact nature of the injury sustained when Antetokounmpo landed awkwardly during a dunk late in the third quarter of Milwaukee's victory over Indiana."
"I'm just going to go back home, sleep, see how I feel tomorrow, try to lift some weights," Antetokounmpo said. "If I have a little bit of discomfort, then I'll go from there. As of now, I'm not really bothered." The two-time MVP declined imaging and planned a conservative approach to recovery."
Giannis Antetokounmpo exited Milwaukee's 134-123 win against Indiana in the third quarter after landing awkwardly during a dunk. He completed two more possessions, including another dunk and free throws, before heading to the locker room. Coach Doc Rivers suspected a knee hyperextension. Antetokounmpo finished with 31 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists in 30 minutes. He declined immediate imaging, stating he could have finished the game but followed training staff advice. The two-time MVP planned to rest at home and assess his condition the following day. This injury adds to his season-long injury struggles, having already missed 31 games due to calf strains and a sprained ankle.
