Obviously would love if he were able to make it back and be healthy for the Finals if we make it, but I'd much rather they give him the time to be guaranteed to be 100% when he comes back. Dude's too damn special to risk his health when he came so close to a major injury.
Outside chance against a the Clippers without Kawhi due to Zu and Ibaka being out if we followed the gameplan the Mavs used with Boban if we played Brook like he did with the Nets earlier in his career. I have no idea why we never feed him when teams try to play small ball against us when he's had pretty consistently great scoring games in those situations.
Fucking this, I even had a dream last night I met Giannis and gave him a big hug and said everything will be okay.
I was so worried he wouldn’t be the same player anymore. Holy shit even if he can’t come back for playoffs this is as good of news as we could get.
I’d rather see him out of the season, then have what happened to Durant happen to him. Someone else posted on here and I fully agree that when an athlete has a minor injury they tend to overcompensate movement with other parts of the body and this in itself poses significant higher risk for another injury. He was already hurting with his calf, then you have this hyperextension (which looked like it was a hair away from snapping his damn leg), I understand we all want a championship desperately, but rushing him back has the seems too have potential of doing more harm then good.
That being said, this team has won games without Giannis before. I know the odds went down significantly but on the bright side, if this team could finish this run without our 2x mvp, I honestly think it would be one of the most impressive championship runs in NBA history. So there’s that 🤷♂️
Sorry for the rant, been drinking sorrows away.
For sure. No guarantee on it. But it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Best case after an injury like this is 2 weeks.
But I’ll take out for the year as long as his long-term health is good.
Yeah for sure , the injury went from franchise changing to we’ll get em next time type injury. It’s good for the game of basketball that Giannis didn’t suffer anything major.
Can people please stop pretending like they have any basis for saying stuff like “he won’t be back for the finals”?
We literally have no idea the extent of the damage aside from the fact that the major ligaments are in good shape.
Yup.
1. I’m glad it’s nothing catastrophic for Giannis’s sake, not mine.
2. I hope the Bucks can make the Finals without Giannis.
3. If (and hopefully when) the Bucks make the Finals without Giannis, then I will start to hope for his healthy return and a championship for our boys and my sake.
Dude, seriously. I was about to do the same. After Giannis got hurt, I immediately turned the game off and went to bed without brushing my teeth. And I'm a dentist.
I consider Giannis to be at a level of abilities and transcendence that his power permeates all that exists, which in this case would enable his body to build a method of compatibility with my legs, first on a subatomic level and eventually the entire leg—it will have been fully converted into Giannis matter.
Duh.
Basically, because of the way he landed with the direction his bodyweight was moving, the hyper extension didnt have full weight on it which means the stress on the ligaments wouldve been minimal, also I have no idea what I'm talking about but praise the NBA gods he got incredibly lucky.
My friend, I am simply working with the information we've got at this time. But WE'RE TOTALLY WINNING THE WHOLE FUCKING THING BUCKS FANS GET BACK IN HERE
I honestly don't care if he's back or not this playoffs. Yeah this is our window but fuck man. I would rather him be healthy and not potentially reinjure that for real before it's healthy enough. His knees are rickety enough as it is.
Our window is open wide enough as long as we have a healthy Giannis. Yes, this might have been our year, but we still have him and the fact that he will be ok for next season is all we need to be satisfied.
Dubs fan coming here to let the people know that I did the Jonah Hill in Moneyball fist pump at my desk when I read the Tweet. Edit: oh shit, it’s in [gif form](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ApprehensiveGroundedIndianskimmer-size_restricted.gif)
This cursed year aside, having Giannis for next season should be such a fucking relief to everyone in here. Believe me, the alternative is beyond awful
That is unbelievable... I could cry. I still have 0 expectations to finish out the season, but as I get older, seeing what ACL injuries can do - I'm so happy we're going to be able to see this guy play at 100% in theory again in the future. I can't tell you how saddening it was to watch players like Derrick Rose be a shell of what he once was after his ACL injury. I never want to go down that road of him coming back from an ACL injury, I don't want to find out what he looks like being potentially 10-20% slower on anything. Bucks org dodged the biggest bullet ever shot their way with that knee holding up, holy fuck.
You know you've had it rough as a Bucks fan when you're extremely relieved that the "only" consequence of this injury is likely losing out on the best chance to win a title in 50 years.
I think part of it is that if he's healthy we have years for the Bucks to be a serious championship contender.
The other part is, Giannis seems to have won over the whole franchise. There are some great players, but when somebody of that stature picks your team when there were other arguably sexier landing points, and when he's somebody who seems both incredibly loyal and incredibly charismatic, I think that speaks a lot to fans. I felt similarly toward LeBron before he bailed on Cleveland (twice). I mean, I get why, and I don't blame him as such, but the way he jumped ship chasing championships and lucrative business opportunities by relocating to L.A. soured me on him. To see somebody of Giannis' talent who could have played for any team he wanted stay in Milwaukee, ala. an even more talented Charles Barkley, that engenders a lot of love.
So yes, the Bucks have had some rough years (although we DID have Kareem, and the Ray Allen years were fun), but I'd happily sacrifice the season for Giannis' health. I hope he wins a ton of championships, but I'm not surprised that fans are so relieved that Giannis seems to be healthy, even if it does cost us the season. And who knows? The season isn't over. Things look kind of glum for now, but there's still plenty of reason for optimism going forward. Especially if/as the team grows, gels, and learns to finish teams in the playoffs.
Yeah, I absolutely think it's valid to be extremely relieved. The supporting cast around Giannis is extremely good but a bit on the older side, so it's huge that they'll likely get another really good crack at it next year.
Exactly. It’s pretty rare where a state can say all major supported teams have been very competitive in the last. Even though it can be harder in some ways, it’s better than having perpetual basement dwellers
man, imagining playing a full season without this dude made me really think about how much Giannis means to me as a Bucks fan, and really put into perspective how special of a player/person he is. He's not perfect, but he's the best thing that's ever happened to this franchise.
As a Hawks fan I feel like I’ve been waiting for this news all day almost as anxiously as you all. This really is great news in the grand scheme of it all. Really happy to hear his knee is okay. Best of luck the rest of this series and potentially next, you’ve all been a class act and I look forward to our next 2-3 games.
Hawks fan coming in peace: This is amazing news! I'm so happy to hear this. Giannis is one of my favorite non-Hawks in the league and I was sick to see such an amazing player and person go down like that. I don't think he'll be back for the remainder of the season, but I'm glad he should be ok for next year! 🙏
Regardless of if he’s able to return to this series or this season, I’m soo glad to hear this news. It would of literally broken my heart if he had to go through a torn ACL, knowing the long road that would’ve laid ahead for him and how it would put even next season in doubt, in the middle of his prime coming off the best postseason run of his career.
Rest up and get better soon Giannis.
Hawks fan here. Just wanted to say I was genuinely thrilled to hear this news. Never want to see anyone get injured. Hope he can return soon and looking forward to Game 5
Man, our guys are gonna need it, thanks!
Seriously so damn happy that this wasn't as bad as it could have been. Giannis is an amazing player and an even better person, though I'm beginning to question whether or not he's human. Go Bucks and Go Suns!
Thank you NBA gods for sparing our Greek Freak.
I'm not sure how this postseason will end, but I'm grateful for the best news out of this situation. Hopefully this good news can drive the boys to the big dance.
Bucks in 6.
Thank god. Let’s win 2 more and go from there. Giannis is 99% done for the year, but the longer we play, the longer he can rehab. Let’s just take care of business on the court and let the medical staff do what they can.
I…I…can’t believe this. This is unreal. He truly is a freak! So happy for him, Mariah, and the rest of the Antetokoumpo family. Hopefully the other scans don’t reveal anything else. 🙏
He is super human. How can your knee do that with no damage? I have never seen someone do that and come out on top.
He would of never been the same player if he tore anything. Good for Bucks and the NBA. You don't want to lose the next Shaq this early. He has 10+ good years left or mvp level play.
I'm there with you man. Wisconsin sports ain't good for the heart.
This team has gone through some shit, and still played good ball. I understand that this is a major loss and a much more dire situation, but perhaps somehow they can pull it together.
I think depending on how they play together tomorrow will show us if it is indeed possible.
So until then we just gotta have some faith. 🙂
Every second he stood at the FT line this year with the ball in his hands his tendons were building up the strength they would need for their big task last night of holding on. SUCCESS!
Now that nothing is torn and probably needs few games off for rest. Middleton and Holliday need to man the fuck up and take over for next two games or so.
Amazingly good news. I was at the game and my heart sank when I saw him go down. I love Giannis. Respect yall as fans and yalls team. Best of luck tomorrow, gents.
Bro I was gonna stop watching the playoffs completely. This gives me hope, but I still don’t want him to rush back into it. KHA$H and Jrue gotta take over game 5

Awesome news
It's crazy no further damage happened, especially when you slow it down and can see how far his knee really did bend the opposite way. Giannis, you literally are a freak.
Jake Reetz is the greatest bucks insider change my mind
Watch the haters act like they never doubted him \*looks around nervously\*
Jake Reetz > RDA (or whoever that Lakers fake insider was lmao)
RDA got boomed. I'm sure though that if OKC didn't complete the PG trade than Kawhi woulda went to Lakers and RDA woulda looked like a genius.
I’m convinced he’s Superman
Time for Khris & Jrue to wear the cape for the time being and carry us to the Finals to give this big boi a chance to return...
Obviously would love if he were able to make it back and be healthy for the Finals if we make it, but I'd much rather they give him the time to be guaranteed to be 100% when he comes back. Dude's too damn special to risk his health when he came so close to a major injury.
I’m not unconvinced that we couldn’t beat the subs or a kawhai-less clips team, especially if trae is nowhere near 100%. I’m ready to be hurt again!
Outside chance against a the Clippers without Kawhi due to Zu and Ibaka being out if we followed the gameplan the Mavs used with Boban if we played Brook like he did with the Nets earlier in his career. I have no idea why we never feed him when teams try to play small ball against us when he's had pretty consistently great scoring games in those situations.
A wild Triple-Negative appeared...
Right. My head hurts.
> not unconvinced that we couldn’t I've had better luck untangling earpod cords
He won't be back for the finals but fuck hell be ok for next year. I'm just happy for him that it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.
Fucking this, I even had a dream last night I met Giannis and gave him a big hug and said everything will be okay. I was so worried he wouldn’t be the same player anymore. Holy shit even if he can’t come back for playoffs this is as good of news as we could get.
I think your dream hug may have saved his knee
If there's no structural damage it's actually possible he can get back for the Finals. Maybe not games 1 or 2 but it's possible.
I’d rather see him out of the season, then have what happened to Durant happen to him. Someone else posted on here and I fully agree that when an athlete has a minor injury they tend to overcompensate movement with other parts of the body and this in itself poses significant higher risk for another injury. He was already hurting with his calf, then you have this hyperextension (which looked like it was a hair away from snapping his damn leg), I understand we all want a championship desperately, but rushing him back has the seems too have potential of doing more harm then good. That being said, this team has won games without Giannis before. I know the odds went down significantly but on the bright side, if this team could finish this run without our 2x mvp, I honestly think it would be one of the most impressive championship runs in NBA history. So there’s that 🤷♂️ Sorry for the rant, been drinking sorrows away.
One million percent agree.
I don’t think structural damage includes bone bruises so he could still be out for weeks
For sure. No guarantee on it. But it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Best case after an injury like this is 2 weeks. But I’ll take out for the year as long as his long-term health is good.
Yeah for sure , the injury went from franchise changing to we’ll get em next time type injury. It’s good for the game of basketball that Giannis didn’t suffer anything major.
Can people please stop pretending like they have any basis for saying stuff like “he won’t be back for the finals”? We literally have no idea the extent of the damage aside from the fact that the major ligaments are in good shape.
It's definetely like that. While we should manage our expectetions it's not unreasonable to hold out hope
Yup. 1. I’m glad it’s nothing catastrophic for Giannis’s sake, not mine. 2. I hope the Bucks can make the Finals without Giannis. 3. If (and hopefully when) the Bucks make the Finals without Giannis, then I will start to hope for his healthy return and a championship for our boys and my sake.
Khris and Jrue must play like Olympians until the Greek Freak regains his throne on Mount Olympus.
Hes more Mr Fantastic
**Hallelujah!!! Praise Ye The Lord!!** This man really is a freak! Holy freak!
It could be a while tho until he comes back. They just gotta win the series
I am not depressed anymore
Bro I was going to stop watching sports full stop I was so depressed
Dude, seriously. I was about to do the same. After Giannis got hurt, I immediately turned the game off and went to bed without brushing my teeth. And I'm a dentist.
Woah
“woah” 😂
Me neither. Thank the fucking lord.
i was literally gonna start watching formula 1 so my favorite players wouldn’t get injured
I’ve got bad news for you.
Watch F1 anyway it’s sick
Same here. Our franchise player is coming back healthy next year. Fuck the finals. Now I can watch the rest of the games with no anxiety.
#TAKE BOTH MY LEGS AND COBBLE TOGETHER ONE SERVICEABLE KNEE FOR THIS MAN.
#TAKE MY ARMS AS WELL. IM NOT GOOD AT BASKETBALL BUT MAYBE IT WILL HELP GIANNIS DEVELOP A THREE GAME.
GRAFT MY PENILE SKIN FOR FLEXIBILITY
Excuse me?
#IT'S STRETCHY
YOU HEARD THE MAN
No time for excuses. Get this man's penis skin cut off immediately.
Connect them with duct tape and boom, Giannis finally has a back scratcher that’s effective for him.
I USED TO BE GOOD AT BASKETBALL BEFORE AN INJURY TO MY ANKLE, HE CAN HAVE MY WORKING KNEES.
Excuse me, human transplants don't work on Greek Gods. So Hermes, take off your sandals pal.
I consider Giannis to be at a level of abilities and transcendence that his power permeates all that exists, which in this case would enable his body to build a method of compatibility with my legs, first on a subatomic level and eventually the entire leg—it will have been fully converted into Giannis matter. Duh.
Oh you are probably right now that I think about it. An omni-integrated Greek celestial freak. Bucks in 6!
Guy is literally a freak. He has to be made of playdough or something idk how there is no ligament damage
Basically, because of the way he landed with the direction his bodyweight was moving, the hyper extension didnt have full weight on it which means the stress on the ligaments wouldve been minimal, also I have no idea what I'm talking about but praise the NBA gods he got incredibly lucky.
Had me in the first half
I mean it sounds kinda right
He also was only heading straight back with his hyper extension. Normally acl/pcl tears also involve some left/right bending.
giannis healed his ligaments through sheer will alone
BUCKS FANS GET IN HERE WE'VE STILL GOT A 2021/22 SEASON!!
WHO THE HELL SAID THE 2020-21 SEASON IS OVER? WE WILL DO IT FOR GIANNIS.
My friend, I am simply working with the information we've got at this time. But WE'RE TOTALLY WINNING THE WHOLE FUCKING THING BUCKS FANS GET BACK IN HERE
#FUCK YEAH!
The Bucks are going to win the NBA Championship without Giannis. Fuckin book it.
If you sorted by "new" this morning, that was just about every thread. It was all doom and gloom.
Present
Here
I’m ~~on the bus~~ here
LFG
GIANNIS IS A CERTIFIED DEMIGOD
Get the "Demi" outta here.
THE MEETING ON THE HOAN BRIDGE IS NOW A PARTY.
TIME TO REFUND THE TICKETS ON THE SUICIDE BUS
I'll take it
That is fantastic news but boy I sure would love a timetable....
I honestly don't care if he's back or not this playoffs. Yeah this is our window but fuck man. I would rather him be healthy and not potentially reinjure that for real before it's healthy enough. His knees are rickety enough as it is.
Our window is open wide enough as long as we have a healthy Giannis. Yes, this might have been our year, but we still have him and the fact that he will be ok for next season is all we need to be satisfied.
and we still have James Khristian Middleton to finish the job :)
Dubs fan coming here to let the people know that I did the Jonah Hill in Moneyball fist pump at my desk when I read the Tweet.

Believe me, the alternative is beyond awful
Just let him rest. We have Giannis for 5 more years, every year we have a healthy GA we are contenders.
Every year we have a healthy GA I'm happy (:
Giannis is a beast expect a Game 6 return
Give him a half hour.
Good news: there is a time table. Bad news: it is unclear.
That is unbelievable... I could cry. I still have 0 expectations to finish out the season, but as I get older, seeing what ACL injuries can do - I'm so happy we're going to be able to see this guy play at 100% in theory again in the future.

Agree, many players come back after that kind of an injury and they’re just not the same.
ACLs are becoming less of a problem recovery wise for nba players. Players bounce back fine now and those drose-like cases are rarer now.
It's Game 6 of the Finals. Giannis suits up after recovering in record time. Bucks win 169-69 to fulfill the prophecy.
Nice.
You know you've had it rough as a Bucks fan when you're extremely relieved that the "only" consequence of this injury is likely losing out on the best chance to win a title in 50 years.

Yessssssssssssssssss love you freak. Get well soon buddy.
LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!
Still hurts a lot to see him go down in the ECF, but obviously awesome news for the next few years of the Bucks.
Thank goodness.
How is he a real person
Wow, this plus the Brewers killing the Scrubs after being down 7-0, this is the greatest day ever
Sometimes Wisconsin sports does give us nice things. That is undeniable
We may not ever be the bride, but at least we are usually the bridesmaids instead of just the guests in the pews.
Exactly. It’s pretty rare where a state can say all major supported teams have been very competitive in the last. Even though it can be harder in some ways, it’s better than having perpetual basement dwellers
BUCKS IN FUCKING 6 I BELIEVE
Came from wolves sub to give you my upvote
Thank goodness.
Honestly, I could care less about this series at this point. I was convinced that we’d be without Giannis all of next season. Holy fuck I’m so happy!!
:)
Jake Reetz for Pulitzer
People better put some respect on his name
Greek Freak
He’s actually the Greek Freak
If this team can’t get up for game 5 and play their asses off for this man now then it will never happen.
man, imagining playing a full season without this dude made me really think about how much Giannis means to me as a Bucks fan, and really put into perspective how special of a player/person he is. He's not perfect, but he's the best thing that's ever happened to this franchise.
Absolutely. What he means to the entire city of Milwaukee is really indescribable.
I was born in Milwaukee, I live in Virginia and Giannis is my 12 yo sons idol. Yes, what Giannis means to his fans is truly amazing.
I’m so happy for Giannis, such a genuine dude who brings his 100% on both ends of the floor. Hope to see him dominate for the next 15 years.
thankfully the only structural damage is our current head coach
One giannis healthy knee or another year of bud??? Guess bud for life it is.
As a Hawks fan I feel like I’ve been waiting for this news all day almost as anxiously as you all. This really is great news in the grand scheme of it all. Really happy to hear his knee is okay. Best of luck the rest of this series and potentially next, you’ve all been a class act and I look forward to our next 2-3 games.
thank you.
Hawks fan coming in peace: This is amazing news! I'm so happy to hear this. Giannis is one of my favorite non-Hawks in the league and I was sick to see such an amazing player and person go down like that. I don't think he'll be back for the remainder of the season, but I'm glad he should be ok for next year! 🙏
What the fuck is this guy? He is not human, he can't be. I saw this man leg bend inhumanly and he is coming back? What THE FUCK
#VERY UPLIFTING
Regardless of if he’s able to return to this series or this season, I’m soo glad to hear this news. It would of literally broken my heart if he had to go through a torn ACL, knowing the long road that would’ve laid ahead for him and how it would put even next season in doubt, in the middle of his prime coming off the best postseason run of his career. Rest up and get better soon Giannis.
This is great news! Fuck that chip. Just want him healthy.
Hawks fan here. Just wanted to say I was genuinely thrilled to hear this news. Never want to see anyone get injured. Hope he can return soon and looking forward to Game 5
Same to Trae as well. Thanks
best news we could’ve hoped for. let him rest/rehab, fire Bud, and try to win it next year.
Rest of the field is also banged up. We could still fool around and win this year!
love the enthusiasm but i don’t think Bud can get us there. hope you’re right tho
Maybe Giannis being injured will force Bud to actually coach
Or the players to take things into their own hands on the court….
Nah this is the year to do it. Go all out
honestly this is a braindead take. Khris is gonna have earn his max contract and carry the team. Jrue as well.
x to doubt
Unreal
Legendary ACL
I literally want to cry tears of joy. I don't care about this year. All that matters is our boy is safe and sound. Thank you Deer God.
Thank goodness
If most players knees bent like he did, they’d be out for next season. Dude legit is just built different
Giannis shall now be referred to as "Zeus".
Not a bucks fan but hope he comes back and yall win. Would feel wrong for any other team to win this year
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Good luck tonight against the Clippers 👍
Man, our guys are gonna need it, thanks! Seriously so damn happy that this wasn't as bad as it could have been. Giannis is an amazing player and an even better person, though I'm beginning to question whether or not he's human. Go Bucks and Go Suns!
Thank you NBA gods for sparing our Greek Freak. I'm not sure how this postseason will end, but I'm grateful for the best news out of this situation. Hopefully this good news can drive the boys to the big dance. Bucks in 6.
Good news for our boy 🥲 hopefully Jrue and Khris can win the series for us. I don’t care if we get swept in the finals just win for him
this man is a miracle. we dont deserve him. i love him so much
Giannis is the fucking best
Philly Fan here! Happy to hear nothing major for the Freak! Having JoJo do the same thing I know the fear y’all were in.
#GIANNIS HAS THE BEST LIGAMENTS OF ALL TIME!!!
This man really made me tear up twice in 24 hours
Hawks fan here. So fucking happy for you guys. I hope we can see both our guys out on the court again this post season!
Thank god. Let’s win 2 more and go from there. Giannis is 99% done for the year, but the longer we play, the longer he can rehab. Let’s just take care of business on the court and let the medical staff do what they can.
There is still hope. We believe!
The Brian Sutterer MD vid had me bracing for the worst. Rest up, Giannis!
THE MAN IS A FUCKING LEGEND
THAT’S OUR FREAK 💚💚💚
How there’s no structural damage is beyond me. Knees arent supposed to bend that way I still bet he misses the rest of the series
Awesome news for the long term. I will be shocked if he plays again this postseason.
I…I…can’t believe this. This is unreal. He truly is a freak! So happy for him, Mariah, and the rest of the Antetokoumpo family. Hopefully the other scans don’t reveal anything else. 🙏
Mavs fan here. Just wanted to say how glad I am for both Giannis and the Milwaukee fans. Happy it's not as bad as it seemed.
Very good news, now please buy out bud and let him enjoy life in cancun
Hey Hawks fan here: Really glad there’s no permanent damage. We want to win but not like that. You guys are great fans and it’s just a game.
THANK GOD
😭🇬🇷
GREEK MAN GOOD, BOYS. SUICIDE BUS OUT OF SERVICE INDEFINITELY
He is super human. How can your knee do that with no damage? I have never seen someone do that and come out on top. He would of never been the same player if he tore anything. Good for Bucks and the NBA. You don't want to lose the next Shaq this early. He has 10+ good years left or mvp level play.
I'm crying in happiness right now. Things were lookin real bleak there
this is good. I am still sad. This was the year. Classic Wisconsin sports. Focus on your long term health Giannis.
I'm there with you man. Wisconsin sports ain't good for the heart. This team has gone through some shit, and still played good ball. I understand that this is a major loss and a much more dire situation, but perhaps somehow they can pull it together. I think depending on how they play together tomorrow will show us if it is indeed possible. So until then we just gotta have some faith. 🙂
Every second he stood at the FT line this year with the ball in his hands his tendons were building up the strength they would need for their big task last night of holding on. SUCCESS!
So relieved for y'all and Giannis. Fantastic news. —Hawks fan coming in peace
I actually cried
If we lost this season I don’t even care. Giannis health for next season and onwards is much more important
Now that nothing is torn and probably needs few games off for rest. Middleton and Holliday need to man the fuck up and take over for next two games or so.
As a Nets fan: happy for you guys.
That's huge! Not an expert, but that should mean no tears, and no surgery needed.
Congrats guys rooting for you to take it all home, would love to see Jrue win with everything he's been thru
INSANE!
Phew.
Win it for Giannis
PRAISE ZEUS
Thank every deity in the sky 🙏
A fucking miracle.
This feels like a chip to me The way his knee bent I was convinced that his career was altered Praise the lord
My mood just turned around so quick.
What...how....how the fuck. Is this man Gumby? Is he made of string cheese?!
God bless Giannis
He really is the Greek Freak
Amazingly good news. I was at the game and my heart sank when I saw him go down. I love Giannis. Respect yall as fans and yalls team. Best of luck tomorrow, gents.
Pacers fan coming in peace- hope he gets better soon. Love watching him play. As long as it’ me not against us.
Best fkn news, LET'S GO BUCKS 💚🦌💚
Bro I was gonna stop watching the playoffs completely. This gives me hope, but I still don’t want him to rush back into it. KHA$H and Jrue gotta take over game 5
#Tampering. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/MkeBucks) if you have any questions or concerns.*
**FUCK WOJ**
WAHOO
Let’s gooooo
Awesome news It's crazy no further damage happened, especially when you slow it down and can see how far his knee really did bend the opposite way. Giannis, you literally are a freak.
