The Bucks did not provide any additional information about the injury, or whether the two-time NBA MVP will have to miss any more games.
Antetokounmpo was once again key on both sides of the court for Milwaukee, leading the team in points and rebounds. So far this season, Antetokounmpo is off to his typical dominant start, averaging 31 points, 12.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.
Losing Antetokounmpo is a major blow for Milwaukee, which sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Bucks are off to a tough start, sitting at 1-5 on the season; Cleveland, meanwhile, is 7-0 and atop the East.
