Giannis Antetokounmpo's left Achilles tendon is fully intact, and the Milwaukee Bucks star's return to play will depend on how quickly his left calf strain heals, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Antetokounmpo exited Tuesday night's victory over the Boston Celtics in the third quarter after crumpling to the floor while grabbing at his left leg. The two-time MVP's teammates helped carry him off the court and toward the locker room.

The Bucks initially called the injury a strain to Antetokounmpo's left soleus, which is a muscle in the back part of the calf.
