Giannis leaves Game 4 loss with hyperextended knee
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo hyperextended his left knee in Tuesday's 110-88 Game 4 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
The two-time MVP is expected to undergo further imaging on his knee on Wednesday, sources told ESPN's Malika Andrews.
Antetokounmpo landed awkwardly after attempting to block a shot near the midway point of the third quarter and didn't return.
He immediately went back to the locker room, as his brother, Thanasis, helped him off the court.

Antetokounmpo was finding his rhythm after a rough first half. The Bucks forward finished with 14 points, eight boards, and three assists in 24 minutes of action.
The series is tied 2-2 heading into Game 5.
