    Giannis Antetokounmpo left Thursday Night’s game vs the Chicago Bulls in the second quarter.  It was the Milwaukee Bucks’ final game before the All-Star break, star Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo injured his hand and wrist when attempting to block a layup from Chicago Bulls Guard Coby White.  Scheduled to captain one of the All-Star teams during this weekend’s festivities, Antetokounmpo immediately received medical attention and exited the game to the locker room to undergo further treatment.  After the game, Mike Budenholzer gave an update for the Bucks’ franchise player.  Now Giannis Antetokounmpo spoken openly about his injury for the first time.

    Giannis Antetokoumnpo Gives Speaks Openly About Wrist Injury For First Time

    It would appear that Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is not one bit worried about his injured wrist.  His injury forced him out of Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.  When asked on Friday about the fall and his injury, Antetokounmpo played it down and hinted he is doing just fine.

    “What fall?” Antetokounmpo responded, per Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “That was yesterday, man. That’s old news. It’s a brand new day, man. A good day to be alive.”

    This was Mike Budenholzer’s injury update on Giannis Antetokounmpo:

    Per Eric Nehm of The Athletic:

    Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer, on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s right wrist sprain: “I think the initial reports were hopeful. The x-ray was clean. And he’s got a sprain. I think we’ll see how he feels tomorrow, see how he feels the next few days, and continue to evaluate it.”

    Antetokounmpo scored two points, snagged seven rebounds, and recorded three assists in just nine minutes in the first quarter.  One of those assists was to Jevon Carter which made him the all-time leader in assists in Bucks history.  Surely the Bucks will take the safe route with this injury, given that Giannis is their franchise player.

    If Antetokounmpo is able to play through the All-Star weekend, it would be a major sign that he’d be okay and that he wouldn’t need to be sidelined past the break. If he ends up sitting out, though, then more questions about his playing status would be raised once again.  For now, it does seem like Antetokounmpo is not bothered by his injury. With that said, it might be safe to expect him to play for Saturday’s Skills Challenge and the highly anticipated All-Star Game.
