MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo left the Milwaukee Bucks’ game with the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night after straining his right calf in the first quarter.
The two-time MVP had just assisted on A.J. Green' layup less than three minutes into the game when he headed back up the court and slipped in the painted area. Antetokounmpo went down, clutched his right leg and eventually was helped up before walking gingerly to the locker room.
The Bucks announced later in the first quarter that Antetokounmpo had a strained calf and would miss the rest of the game.
Antetokounmpo was playing his fourth game since returning from a left adductor strain that caused him to miss four games. The two-time MVP entered Wednesday ranked fourth in the NBA in scoring (30.6), fifth in rebounding (10.7
