The Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo left the floor and didn’t return again after scoring the opening basket during the All-Star game on Sunday. The wrist injury that he had suffered during the Bucks’ game against the Chicago Bulls prevented him from coming back on the hardwood. In fact, the seven-time All-Star couldn’t even participate in any other All-Star weekend activities due to the said injury. However, recently, a report emerged on the Greek Freak’s injury situation, revealing some enlightening details about his injury.
Following Giannis’ injury, fans were quite stressed about the situation, because the two-time MVP’s absence would have a detrimental impact on the team at this crucial stage. The Bucks are currently second place in the Eastern Conference table with a record of 41-17, just 0.5 games behind the Boston Celtics.
