Milwaukee sees Antetokounmpo drop out
Milwaukee booked a prestige victory against Boston on Tuesday in the NBA. The Bucks defeated the Celtics 104-91, who are already certain to end the regular season as the best team. The disappointment of the evening was the injury that star player Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered. He dropped out with calf pain.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Greek had to leave the court with pain in his left calf. At that time he had 15 points and 8 rebounds. Antetokounmpo must undergo an MRI scan a few days before the start of the play-offs to determine the severity of his injury. Last month he was also sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury.
