The Bucks will enter the All-Star break facing looming concerns about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s health after the star forward suffered a wrist injury early in Thursday’s 112–100 road win over the Bulls.
Antetokounmpo exited the contest with 10:59 left in the second quarter after his right wrist landed awkwardly on the backboard stanchion following an attempt at a chasedown block on Bulls guard Coby White. The team announced Antetokounmpo would not return with a sprained wrist, ending the 28-year-old’s night with a two-point, seven-rebound and three-assist effort in nine minutes of action.
After the game, Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters the team will continue to evaluate Antetokounmpo, who grabbed at his wrist numerous times after the play, in the coming days.
