He left the Tuesday game after sustaining a hyperextended left knee during the contests third quarter. The Bucks star got the injury when he went to block Clint Capelas alley-oop attempt.
It did not end well with the two-time MVO landing hard on his left leg, resulting in an injured knee. The following day, Wednesday, he went to get an MRI and some more testing. The initial diagnosis confirmed that his knee did not suffer from structural damage with his ligaments intact,
But even with this, the Bucks put the big mans status for Game 5 as doubtful. Milwaukee’s head coach did not give more details about Antetokounmpo’s injury, possibly not to put more down on their Game 4 loss 110-88 after getting blown by Atlanta Hawks.
After his fall, Antetokounmpo was down for a few moments before eventually getting led to his teams locker room. During the third quarter, he stayed on the bench before heading back again to the locker soon after. Eventually, he was ruled out for the rest of the game because of left knee hypertension.
Before he made his exit, though, Antetokounmpo managed 14 points and 8 rebounds for the team within the 24 minutes he was playing. But after he was down, the Bucks quickly lost the edge with the Hawks scoring the game away. He likely wont be there, but Bucks vs. Hawks Game 5 will be on Thursday night.
