Giannis questionable vs. Lakers with ankle sprain
Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable with a right ankle sprain for the Milwaukee Bucks' home matchup Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Antetokounmpo, a front-runner for the league MVP award, turned his ankle during the Bucks' loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.
Antetokounmpo crumpled to the ground after colliding with Joel Embiid while driving to the basket late in the third quarter. He stayed on the ground for nearly a minute, clutching his right ankle before getting back on his feet.
When Antetokounmpo did get up, he walked gingerly on his right leg but still made two free throws. He ended up staying in the game and went on to finish with a career-high 52 points.
