Giannis Antetokounmpo left late in the first quarter of the Bucks’ 128-99 win Friday night after the team said he knocked knees with a Heat player.
MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo left late in the first quarter of the Bucks’ game against the Miami Heat on Friday night after the Bucks said he knocked knees with an opponent.
Bucks officials announced early in the second quarter that the two-time MVP wouldn’t return to the game because of what they said was a right knee issue. Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer said after the Bucks’ 128-99 victory that he wasn’t sure exactly when it happened.“I haven’t gotten the full breakdown, but I’m pretty sure either on a drive or on a screen or something like that, he knocked knees with somebody and just wasn’t able to return,” Budenholzer said.
Before the game, Budenholzer described Antetokounmpo’s rapid progress over the last week as “unbelievable.”Giannis Antetokounmpo, who played just 20 second of the All-Star Game due to a sprained wrist, exited Friday’s game against the Heat with a knee injury.Milwaukee also had Bobby Portis returning from a month-long absence and Jae Crowder making his 2022-23 debut as the Bucks chased their 13th consecutive victory.
