Antetokounmpo to have additional tests on sprained wrist

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will undergo additional tests on his sprained right wrist in New York, according to multiple media reports.

The Greek served as a captain in Sunday’s All-Star Game but played just 20 seconds to avoid aggravating the injury.

He scored a quick basket and committed an intentional foul so he could check out.

“Taking it day by day, try to get healthy,” Antetokounmpo said after Sunday’s game.

“You know, obviously I had the incident three days ago. I don’t think it’s smart in any way to … play a lot of minutes in the All-Star Game.

“At the end of the day, obviously, you want to participate, you want to run up and down, joke around, have some dunks, create some work.

“But at the end of the day, I feel you also have to be mature. Hard decision, but mature decision to kind of … take a break here, take care of it, and hopefully I can be available for my team when they need me.”

Antetokounmpo was visible throughout All-Star Weekend, but he didn’t do much on the court.

He pulled out of Saturday’s skills competition, with teammate Jrue Holiday, taking his place on Team Antetokounmpo.
