Here's everything we currently know about Antetokounmpo's injury.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's injury timeline
Antetokounmpo suffered the injury in Milwaukee's Game 4 loss to the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Antetokounmpo jumped to contest an alley-oop between Lou Williams and Clint Capela in the third quarter and landed awkwardly, with his left knee buckling. He remained on the floor for a few minutes in visible pain before being helped to the locker room.
"It just looked like their legs got tangled up," Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said afterwards. "They both landed awkwardly. That's what I saw live. I haven't seen anything else."
Antetokounmpo returned to the bench, only to go back to the locker room. He was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game with a hyperextended left knee.
