"We'll see how he wakes up", he said after Heat game

Giannis Antetokounmpo fell on the ground and was forced to leave the court with 1:46 remaining in the first quarter in the first game of the NBA Playoffs series between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat,

Bucks ended up losing 130-117 and Giannis came back to the court for just a few minutes in the second quarter, without attempting any shots. The Greek superstar ended the contest with 6 points and 3 rebounds in 11 minutes of playing time.


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.
