Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo Out for Rest of Game 4 vs. Heat With Ankle Sprain

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo left Game 4 of his team's Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Heat early in the second quarter after suffering a right ankle injury.

The team announced that he has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and will not return.

Antetokounmpo, who entered Game 4 as a game-time decision after suffering a right ankle sprain early in Game 3, appeared to land awkwardly on a layup attempt with just over 10 minutes to play in the quarter.

The 2018-19 league MVP and 2019-20 Defensive Player of the Year shot the necessary two free throws to remain eligible to return in the contest before returning to the locker room.
