The two-time NBA MVP stayed on the court for a few minutes and finally returned to the locker room. Antetokounmpo was able to put some weight on his left leg, but he was obviously limp.

Before heading to the locker room again, he briefly returned to the bench. The Bucks then officially ruled him out for the remainder of the fourth game.

Antetokounmpo had 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in 24 minutes. Entering Tuesday’s game, he averaged 29.2 points, 13.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 14 playoff games.
