Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo sustained a left groin strain in the second quarter of Monday’s game in Cleveland and will not for the second half, the team announced (Twitter link via Eric Nehm of The Athletic).
Antetokounmpo appeared to suffer the injury on a drive to the basket, according to Nehm, who tweets that the Greek forward hobbled back down the court on defense, committed a foul, and then checked himself out of the game and walked to the locker room. Harris Stavrou of SPORT24 has a partial video of the incident (Twitter link).
Backup big man Jericho Sims started the second half with Antetokounmpo unavailable, Nehm adds (via Twitter).
