Bucks Injury Report: Milwaukee Starter Exits Raptors Game After Fall

Giannis Antetokounmpo leaves game with right knee soreness

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo exited the team's game against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night after suffering right knee soreness in the first quarter. Antetokounmpo was injured in the early minutes of the game while driving to the basket. He appeared to hyperextend his knee on the play and immediately grabbed at it.

Antetokounmpo was able to walk off the court under his own power, but he did not return to the game. The Bucks announced that he would be evaluated further after the game.

Antetokounmpo is a key player for the Bucks

Antetokounmpo is a two-time NBA MVP and is considered one of the best players in the league. He is averaging 27.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game this season.

The Bucks are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, but they have struggled to stay healthy this season. Khris Middleton has missed the entire season with a wrist injury, and Jrue Holiday has missed several games with a variety of injuries.

Bucks will need to step up without Antetokounmpo

If Antetokounmpo is forced to miss any significant time, it will be a major blow to the Bucks. The team will need other players to step up in his absence.

Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez are two players who could see their roles increase. Portis is averaging 14.4 points and 9.1 rebounds per game this season, while Lopez is averaging 12.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Bucks will need to wait for further evaluation

The Bucks will need to wait for further evaluation to determine the severity of Antetokounmpo's injury. The team is scheduled to host the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.
