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

ATLANTA -- Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday night's Eastern Conference finals Game 4 due to left knee hyperextension, the team announced.

With just over 7 minutes remaining in the third quarter and the Bucks trailing the Atlanta 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.
