Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined in Game 4 by hyperextended left knee

ATLANTA -- Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo hyperextended his left knee during Milwaukee's 110-88 loss to the Atlanta Hawks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday night, according to the team.

With just over 7 minutes remaining in the third quarter and the Bucks trailing the Hawks 62-52, Antetokounmpo jumped up to contest an alley-oop from John Collins to Clint Capela. The two-time MVP landed awkwardly on his left leg, with his knee buckling.

Antetokounmpo immediately fell to the floor and stayed down on the ground for several minutes -- with Bucks and Hawks players and coaches surrounding him -- before sitting up.
