On July 4, Beijing time, the Bucks officially announced that the star Giannis Antetokounmpo will be absent from G6 in the Eastern Conference finals due to overextension of his left knee.
Antetokounmpo was injured in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday. In the third quarter, he injured his left knee on a landing and then left the field to return to the locker room. It is worth mentioning that Antetokounmpo once returned to the bench from the locker room, but then returned to the locker room again.
Antetokounmpo underwent an MRI at the Atlanta Hospital on Thursday, and the results showed no structural damage to his knee. The source said that Antetokounmpo is now entering the next stage of inspection, and there is currently no timetable for a comeback.
According to the insiders of the Bucks, Antetokounmpo is likely to miss all the remaining games of the season. However, “Yahoo Sports” reporter Chris Hannes previously revealed that if the Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals are forced to the tiebreaker by the Eagles, Antetokounmpo has the possibility of a G7 comeback.
Antetokounmpo missed Friday’s battle of Tianwangshan due to hyperextension of his left knee. However, the Bucks blossomed more and eventually won G5 at their doorstep, only one step away from reaching the finals.
Since the playoffs this year, Antetokounmpo has played a total of 15 games, averaging 37.4 minutes per game, surrendering 28.2 points, 12.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists.
So far, the Bucks have a 3-2 lead over the Hawks. According to the schedule, the Eastern Conference finals G6 will move to Atlanta.Return to Sohu to see more
