After the game, head coach Mike Budenholzer spoke about his situation. “We’ll monitor him and see how he wakes up. He just wasn’t moving. Didn’t look comfortable, confident. It felt like the right thing. We have to wait and see what the doctors say. Most importantly, what Giannis says. Certainly, we’ve been blessed with him being incredibly resilient and quick to heal, but you’ve just got to take it day by day and see how he’s doing and see how he feels”, he said.
