All Star Giannis Antetokounmpo Added To The List Of 2021 NBA Injuries
Giannis Antetokounmpo settled the injury score with the Hawks.
After the news of Trae Young‘s injury, I thought that it can’t get worse than this. However, I was so wrong and not just wrong but I never imagined something like this – Giannis Antetokounmpo getting his knee injured. What the hell is happening in the 2021 NBA season? It must have been full of surprises. Whereas, it’s a season full of injuries that too one after another. I think someone specifically cursed the all-stars this season.

Atlanta Hawks Trae Young was already out of game 4 after stepping on a referees foot. Therefore, all-star Giannis Antetokounmpo settled that injury score with the Hawks. However, his injury doesn’t seem normal to me. I mean just look at that fall and the pain associated. He was not even able to leave the court on his own. No MRI has been done yet but I don’t know if he will be returning in the next game or not.

All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo’s injury is an utter disappointment.
There have been freaking injuries this season that could occur anytime. First, Kyrie Irving stepped on Giannis then Trae stepped on a referee whereas Chris Paul was in the wellbeing and security convention. Kawhi Leonard got injured on a foul. That is the bloody point. No matter who it is or what time it is, injuries always occur. I’m also very much aware that injuries occur at the end of the season games. However, not like this.
If Giannis misses any games due to injury, he’d be the 10th All-Star who has been sidelined for at least 1 game this postseason.
Anthony Davis
James Harden
Kyrie Irving
Kawhi Leonard
Donovan Mitchell
Joel Embiid
Mike Conley
Jaylen Brown
Chris PaulPrevious playoff-high was *6*

This season has turned from dull to amazing during the playoffs. I always wanted to talk about the dunks and three-pointers. however, what am I doing now? Every day we are witnessing an injury. I was excited that new teams made it to the conference finals this time. Yet it is all going in vain.
