For a brief moment, the Milwaukee Bucks felt joy again. They entered the first half with a 20-point lead against the Boston Celtics and played with that joy for the remainder of the second quarter. And they maintained that joy, holding onto the lead in the third quarter.
But that joy faded when Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks' two-time MVP and seven-time All-NBA forward, went down without contact with another player at 3:40 of the third quarter.
As the Bucks have proven all season, joy is fleeting.
Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo said after Tuesday's game, “My first feeling was, 'Oh, shoot, my teammate is down. Game plan, game plan. Okay, he's down. Are you okay? Okay. “It's a game plan.” “The second thing I felt was, 'Oh my god, there's my baby brother on the floor. What's going on?'
“I just hope it's not crazy. You know how we usually are, but for us it's like, OK, he's down, come back. Get the other guy back.” It's very rare for us to not be able to come back because we fight through everything and live with what we have. Masu.
“It's hard. That's the hardest part, because you can see it's kind of a serious issue. There's a frustration part from that side. The good part is, we got the game, we won. , and just kind of building good habits,” especially against that team. ”
wednesday morning, athletic Shams Charania reported that Antetokounmpo avoided a left Achilles tendon injury, which is the best-case scenario for the Bucks. Still, that doesn't change the precarious position the Bucks are in. Not only do the Bucks need Antetokounmpo to come back from injury and play well, but the Bucks are missing regular season reps for the big three: Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and the Bucks. Khris Middleton will get used to playing with each other under head coach Doc Rivers.
