On Friday, Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered an injury while playing for the Miami Heat.
Due to a knee injury, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo had to leave the Miami Heat game in the first quarter on Friday.
However, despite his early exit from the game, the Bucks went on to win comfortably 128-99. They had won for the 13th time in a row, the longest winning streak in the league this season, with the victory.
A spokesperson for the Bucks claims that Antetokounmpo was hurt when he collided with a Heat player and injured his knees.
During his press conference following the game, their head coach, Mike Budenholzer, confirmed the incident.
Before he returned to the game with just one minute and forty-three seconds remaining, the 28-year-old appeared to be in some discomfort.
Before leaving, it was evident that he was grabbing his knee on the possession. Antetokounmpo gave Jevon Carter the ball after making a brief move on the right block near the end of the first quarter.
