NBA Playoffs Bucks-Hawks: Twitter Reacts To Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Injury

The Bucks have announced Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss the remainder of Game 4.

Here is what Twitter is saying about the injury below. 

Re: Giannis: He clearly hyperextended the left knee but multiple structures can be injured with this mechanism. It is worth noting he previously sprained the joint capsule in this same knee in March of 2020. Hoping he somehow avoided significant injury.
