The fact that there’s no brace or anything protecting it is an amazing sign. Dude’s not human

Yup. He seems in good spirits.

Lebron would have his hand/wrist bandaged up. You would have no clue Giannis injured himself last night if you didn't see it happen.

Oh yeah for sure. And he'd do numerous interviews telling everyone he'd try to tough it out. He'd milk it all weekend.

Jeez Giannis don’t anger Davis like that. Next game with him is going to be a nightmare.

Because there was that short 10-20 seconds of absolute dread where I saw him on the ground and he looked like he was holding his knee. I could actually feel my heart sink into the abyss...

Worse case scenario it might affect his shooting accuracy

Bucks fans are naturally nervous anytime Antetokounmpo falls hard and is slow to get up.

But two days after exiting that game there is no injury update? No further reported testing results beyond a clean x-ray? No comment beyond a casual dismissal?

I don't think Giannis even knows how to SPELL "Diva".

I don't know if I can love another basketball player after Giannis... :oops:

Think he's fine. He was clapping a lot and didn't even have a wrist wrap, or tape or anything. My guess is just being extra, extra careful in a Feb game against a bad team.

If he was fine he would have done the skills competition with his brothers. Not saying it's serious but it's definitely bothering him.

“You got to build a wall, man! You got to build a wall to stop me this day,” Antetokounmpo said. “There’s a team called. . .they created the Giannis wall. Boston does it now, Chicago tried to do it, Miami tried to do it. There’s a thing called the Giannis wall, I created that thing. There’s no one-on-one in my world. There’s me playing against one, two guys, three guys, four guys. One-on-one isn’t my thing, it’s impossible.”

He's not wrong. He's been playing 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 for so long, when he gets 1 on 1 he's like an adult playing nerf ball with his kid.

Speaking of The Wall, how many times in NBA history have teams had to invent a special novelty team defense just to account for one player?

The Jordan Rules? Hack-a-Shaq? Standing on Harden’s hip (not really widespread)?

I can’t think of any others off the top of my head

Well i'm already prepared for the Giannis is set to miss X amount of weeks with some kind of ligament / nerve damage. :cry:

HKPackFan · Post #1660 » by **HKPackFan** » Mon Feb 20, 2023 4:51 am

I think Giannis couldn't quite lift that trophy....Man this could be a longer problem than we expect. And knowing Bud likes to be super cautious with injuries, this could be multiple weeks.

They are going to have to figure out how to win games without Giannis for a while. In warm ups he was dribbling left hand only. This is hurting more than he's letting on.
