The Bucks and their fans can exhale. Giannis Antetokounmpo avoided serious damage in his right wrist, tests revealed on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
The examination took place in New York and Antetokounmpo was diagnosed with a sprained ligament. He’ll undergo treatment with the expectation that he’ll return to the lineup once the pain subsides, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.
It’s uncertain if Antetokounmpo will need to miss some games. Milwaukee will host Miami and Phoenix this weekend.
The Bucks’ superstar removed himself from the All-Star Game after scoring the first basket. Antetokounmpo played just nine minutes in Milwaukee’s victory over Chicago on Thursday. The two-time MVP was injured trying to block a layup attempt by Coby White. He jammed his wrist when he reached out while crashing into the padded stanchion.
Antetokounmpo is averaging a career-high 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists this season. He has already missed 11 games, mostly due to knee soreness.
One of the best role models in NBA !!
Yes a lot of players looking to injure Kyrie so they can get ahead in a series should totally follow in his landing zone footsteps…
You’re still on about this nonsense all this time later? Give it a rest, bro.

One thing I’d never figure out is
In 2013 nba draft
Giannis is the 15th pick
Rudy Gobert is 27th pick
All 14 lottery picks are not all stars now.
