Big news for Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The diagnosis offered by the franchise after performing the tests corresponding to its star has ruled out structural damage to Anteto’s knee, which appears to have prevented a much more serious injury.
The Greek had to leave the court during the fourth game of the tie against the Hawks after suffering what the Bucks called a knee hyperextension. Tests have confirmed that no additional damage in the ligaments.
So much so that Antetokounmpo is doubtful to play the fifth game of the series, instead of confirmed loss. The safest thing is that he cannot dispute it but not seeing him on the disabled list is great news.
Hawks and Bucks are tied 2-2 in the Eastern Finals, a tie that has seen the two best players fall, since Trae Young could not play the last match either by a bone contusion in the foot.
With Phoenix waiting for rival in NBA Finals, these two teams will charge again tonight, hoping to get a little closer to that fourth win that seals their ticket to the title round.
