Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss Game 5 of his team's series with the Miami Heat with a right ankle sprain, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Antetokounmpo sprained his right ankle in the first half of Milwaukee's eventual overtime Game 4 victory on Sunday. The 2018-19 league MVP appeared to land awkwardly on a layup attempt with just over 10 minutes to play in the second quarter. He had already entered Game 4 as a game-time decision after suffering a right ankle sprain early in Game 3.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, after exiting the game, Antetokounmpo was encouraging the Bucks to tape up his right ankle and let him return, however, the team's star couldn't plant or jump off the sprain.
