Yikes…this season is turning into a black eye for the league with continued effects of the compressed schedule.

I don't see how that knee could possibly be okay. His white drawers looked clean as well.

Good to see Giannis back but, please, take it easy Giannis. Live to fight another day.

Looked brutal.

Praying for Giannis! :pray: :pray: :pray:

And VERY CLASSY of the Hawks fans to react the way they did. The silence and the clapping when Giannis got up. Huge respect. :clap: :clap: :clap:

That's how it's done.
Yes was very glad to see this. Some crowds (well some fans) are classless.

What happened to Giannis? I can't find a stream lol...only MLB baseball on my local bell fibe tv

He tried to defend a lob and came down awkwardly. His knee hyperextended. Looked painful.

I am surprised he is walking and back. I wonder if the MRI on site?

Are they not even going to look at his knee. This is kinda dumb. He could have ligament damage.

Very good point. We never know what the deal is until we get an official report. He could come back in and score 10 in the 4th, or not play again the rest of the playoffs.

Hawks are taking advantage of Lopez out there. He's getting killed by their athletic bigs.

His knee bent backwards to 11 o clock. I don't care what horse tranquilizers they give him, he has to sit this out. You have to protect him.

The Bucks better not roll him out there and risk worsening that injury, especially since they're down 20 now. This won't be worth it.

That injury looked bad. Hopefully Giannis isn’t as hurt as it seemed.

Is it possible he isn't seriously injured? Looked so awful.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
