Giannis Antetokounmpo Injury: Bucks Star Exits Game 4 With Ankle Sprain
The Bucks still managed to pull out the win to avoid elimination
Giannis Antetokounmpo will not return to the court Sunday afternoon.
The Bucks star exited Sunday’s Game 4 matchup between Milwaukee and the Miami Heat in the NBA Bubble after appearing to roll his right ankle on a drive early in the second quarter.
He clutched the ankle almost immediately after hitting the floor and could be heard screaming in pain.
Here’s how it played out, via ESPN:
Antetokounmpo eventually managed to get up and take his free throws before leaving the court to be evaluated. The Bucks later announced he would not return due to a right ankle sprain.
Antetokounmpo was a game-time decision ahead of Game 4 after spraining the same ankle in the first half of Game 3 on Friday.
