"The good news was it was really a good image. There was no damage. It was really just good news. But I don't know the next part [about a timeline]. Head coach Doc Rivers emphasized the positive imaging results while acknowledging uncertainty about Antetokounmpo's return schedule following the hyperextended knee and bone bruise sustained during Sunday's game."
"He was trying to fit 35 minutes into 20. Even the last game he was still on I think 28, which is pretty honest, that's tight. For a coach, that's really tight. Rivers described the challenge of managing Antetokounmpo's workload upon his return from injury, noting the star player's tendency to exceed prescribed playing time limits."
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo sustained a hyperextended left knee and bone bruise after landing awkwardly during a dunk in Sunday's game against the Pacers. Imaging revealed no structural damage, providing positive news despite the injury. He will be re-evaluated in one week with no confirmed return timeline. This marks his 32nd missed game this season, the most of his career. Since returning March 2 from a calf strain, Antetokounmpo played six games averaging 27.6 points per game overall this season. The Bucks, currently the 11th seed in the East, are 11-20 without him and 17-19 with him in the lineup.
