Giannis Antetokounmpo Exits Bucks-Pistons Game With Right Calf Strain
SLUG: giannis-antetokounmpo-exits-with-right-calf-strain
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo left Wednesday night’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons after slipping on the court and suffering a non-contact injury that the team later described as a right calf strain.
The incident occurred on December 3 at 9:31 PM CST when Bucks head coach Doc Rivers called a timeout. Antetokounmpo remained seated on the floor before rising and walking to the bench under his own power. After a brief stay on the sideline, he limped to the locker room for further attention.
The Bucks did not immediately provide a timetable for his return. The two-time MVP is expected to undergo additional testing to confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of the strain.
Antetokounmpo’s exit came hours after reports surfaced that he and the organization would soon discuss whether he will continue his career in Milwaukee or explore a potential trade.
