Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence had people talking heading into the Milwaukee Bucks‘ Tuesday night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Bucks star left Sunday’s 134-123 win over the Indiana Pacers with what looked like an injury. Milwaukee got the win, but the real story turned into whether Antetokounmpo would be out longer than just one game.

Another setback adds to what has been a rough year for Milwaukee.
Antetokounmpo has been diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and a bone bruise, per ESPN’s Shams Charania, and he will be re-evaluated in one week.
For the two-time MVP, it is just the latest interruption in a season that has been anything but smooth. The timeline gives the Bucks something to work with, but questions about his durability are not going away as the year keeps slipping by.
