Giannis Antetokounmpo exits with right calf strain, MRI scheduled but Achilles ruled out

The Milwaukee Bucks are holding their breath after Giannis Antetokounmpo left Wednesday’s game vs. the Detroit Pistons with a right calf strain.

He has been ruled out for the rest of the night and will undergo an MRI, but coach Doc Rivers said an Achilles injury has already been ruled out.

Early in the first quarter, after a jump-pass assist to AJ Green, Antetokounmpo fell while getting back on defense and immediately checked his right leg.

He had to be helped off the floor, walked gingerly to the bench and then headed to the locker room, finishing with 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist as the Bucks still won 113-109.
