Giannis Antetokounmpo, a Milwaukee Bucks player, left the court during the game against the Boston Celtics due to an injury, and now the first information about the seriousness of the injury is emerging.
The Milwaukee Bucks halted a streak of four consecutive losses in this game and defeated the team with the best record in the league, but they left this game with much more concerns than satisfaction.
However, as reported by the reliable Shams Charania, Giannis Antetokounmpo managed to avoid the worst. After undergoing an MRI, it was revealed that the Greek international escaped without a serious Achilles tendon injury.
What he did not avoid is a left calf strain, he will immediately begin therapy, which will also determine the length of his absence.
The Bucks have three crucial games ahead in the season, as a series of poor results have put their second position in the Eastern Conference of the NBA in question. The New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic are close behind them, and they will play two of those three games against the Florida team.
