Giannis Out 2 Weeks with Groin Strain
19 Nov
Summary
- Giannis Antetokounmpo out for two weeks with groin strain.
- Injury occurred during Bucks' loss to Cavaliers.
- Bucks are also dealing with other player injuries.
Milwaukee Bucks' head coach Doc Rivers has announced that two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely be sidelined for about two weeks due to a left groin strain. Rivers shared this update on Tuesday, noting that while the exact severity of the strain is undetermined, it is not considered a severe injury. Antetokounmpo sustained the injury during the second quarter of the Bucks' recent 118-106 defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Rivers indicated that the injury may have occurred earlier in the game, with Antetokounmpo experiencing discomfort in his left groin prior to the point of exit. The star player, who is a key offensive force for the Bucks, is currently ranked fourth in the NBA in scoring, seventh in rebounding, and 15th in assists. His absence poses a significant challenge for the team.
Adding to the team's depth issues, the Bucks are also without Kevin Porter Jr. and Taurean Prince. Prince is sidelined indefinitely with a herniated disk, while Porter Jr. has been out since spraining his ankle and recently underwent knee surgery. The team's recent performance has been inconsistent, with six losses in their last ten games.
