Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss the remainder of Game 4 after suffering a hyperextension of his left knee, the team announced Tuesday night.
Antetokounmpo went down in the third quarter of the Eastern Conference finals contest after attempting to block a Clint Capela dunk at the rim. He landed awkwardly on his left leg and appeared to be in considerable pain as he hit the floor.
Giannis appears to have injured his leg.
