Antetokounmpo's injury came with just eight minutes left in Thursday's game when he ran into Clippers forward Garrett Temple after throwing down a big dunk. He then fell down grabbing his right ankle and had a noticeable limp walking off the court. He watched the remainder of the game from the sideline after testing his ankle.
Antetokounmpo has been dealing with ankle issues for several days now after spraining his ankle March 17 against the 76ers. When asked about his ankle after the game, Antetokounmpo said he felt "good," though he indicated he hadn't fully recovered from the initial sprain.
"Usually when you sprain your ankle, you tweak your ankle, you stay out for two, three, four games," Antetokounmpo told reporters after the game. "But I don't like missing games, so I have to work through it while playing and try to get my strength with our practices."
The bucks main focus should be to make sure that Antetokounmpo is healthy for the playoffs he’s the most important piece to the puzzle for the Bucks. With these last weeks of the regular season they need to focus on letting him rest up for the playoffs due to the fact that they already clinch their playoff spot.
