An MVP candidate may be out for some time.
Giannis Antetokounmpo left Monday’s 118-106 Bucks loss to the Cavaliers with a groin injury, and there’s a bit of an ominous undertone to this one, according to head coach Doc Rivers.
“[It] didn’t look great, I can tell you that,” Rivers said postgame via ESPN . “We’ll know more tomorrow.”
Antetokounmpo was pulled from the game in the second quarter with 3:03 left in the half, having put up 14 points, five rebounds and four assists, right on par with his usual two-time MVP standards.
When Antetokounmpo was pulled from the second game of a back-to-back, the Cavaliers led by just one point.
Things went south for Milwaukee after his departure.
