In the NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo off with knee hyperextension injury. Unfortunately brings many possibilities.
Best case: bone bruise, PCL/capsular sprain
Worst case: ACL injury
Hope for best case but concerned w significant hyperextension movement. 🤞🤞pic.twitter.com/6DYIDcY5SG— NRL PHYSIO (@nrlphysio) June 30, 2021

on behalf of NBA fans;
Buba says
That was a very scary and ugly injury. I couldn’t even watch the replays. Glad the fans in the arena were sportsmanlike and showed him some love with an ovation when he finally got up despite rooting against him. Wish him a speedy recovery.
Magicman says
Agreed, Buba. It was almost Gordon Hayward like. 😬😬😬😬
Buba says
You are right, Sean.

Man, I can’t believe Giannis could walk without help after that. I couldn’t watch that injury again after seeing it once. ike PG and Hayward injuries. Good luck, Giannis.
Buba says
Tom, I think the pain will eventually catch up with him in a few days, or even a week. That was serious.
