Although this is undoubtedly a setback for the Bucks, however, it appears that he escaped any extremely serious injuries.

However, the star will miss the Bucks' key run of games leading up to the All-Star game.

Antetokounmpo should receive an update shortly, but for the time being, the club will have to continue without him.

Before the All-Star break, Milwaukee will play three games: the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Golden State Warriors.
