Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
There is no structural damage to Giannis Antetokounmpo's left knee after his awkward landing last night in Atlanta; ligaments are sound, sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me. Timetable to return is unclear.

This is the tweet I’ve seen going around.

dude with 2k followers and sources using *him* to leak Giannis' diagnosis... color me skeptical.

Either they are pulling a Kawhi or there’s an outside chance he can play again this year. Surprised to leave the timetable open ended.

I still think Middleton and Holiday can get us past Atlanta.

Hopefully Phoenix closes this out.

Jae with 19 and five triples so far.

I like CP3 but did you see that flop?

MU82 · « **Reply #1831 on:** June 30, 2021, 10:38:02 PM »

Beverley is the kind of guy that teammates love and opponents hate. I’d want him on my team.

But that was a real bad look.

He chirps all game every game … but as soon as someone says something to him, he pulls that chickenshyte move.

Anyway, congrats to Jae and the Suns.

They're going to be fairly big favorites in the Finals unless somehow Giannis comes back. Congrats to Jae and the Suns.

I just saw the Beverly play. That was beyond ridiculous and totally unacceptable.

Well they did say he was from Tay Town in Chicago, so it could have been much worse.

Anyone know what time they have to announce Giannis' status? Considering going to the game.

I think technically “doubtful” but I agree he’s likely out. I would think he’d have been upgraded to questionable by now if there was a chance. I thought Harden went from doubtful to questionable relatively early in the day.

Gonna be tough without him. Unless both of us coach the team Cheebs..

Bud frustrates me but I’ll defer to his coaching ability. Hoping this lights a fire under Middleton and Holiday can, but not so much they force things.

Mutaman · « **Reply #1841 on:** July 01, 2021, 04:34:35 PM »

Seems to me our only hope is that Kris has one of those crazy games like he did in game 3. Then hope Giannis can hobble around in game 7.

Will Budenholzer make adjustments? Obviously Middleton and Holiday will have to step it up.

Tuesday night aside, I don’t know why it’s a foregone conclusion that no Giannis and no Trae Young means Atlanta is in the drivers seat. If Young was back, I get it. But I would hope Middleton and Holiday and the rest of the Bucks could beat Collins, Huerter, and co

Hawks announce Trae Young is out, too. I think the Hawks can overcome his loss easier than the Bucks with Giannis as evidenced the other night, I know, but in the long-term as well. Not sure where the Bucks offense comes from outside Khris

Maybe....but this is game the Bucks have to win on their home floor. Then you take your chances getting 1 of the next 2 and hope somehow Giannis can be back for the Finals. It's the lack of urgency that was beyond inexcusable in Game 4 and probably contributed to Giannis getting injured trying to come back from a big deficit imo.

I’m in agreement. I just like the Hawks roster as is better than the Bucks. It’s a possible legacy defining moment for Middleton. Hope he rises to the moment

It's really hard to guess who will rise to the occasion. But the fact is Middleton and Holiday should be the two best players on the floor without Giannis and Trae Young. And Lopez has to score the ball as well.

You're right- I made my last post thinking Young was playing.
But query- I know this sounds stupid but haven't the Hawks performed better with Williams in there instead of Young?

It was one game, just as G1 was one game and didn't mean the Bucks were in serious trouble ... and G2 was one game and didn't mean the Hawks were done.

I expect the Bucks to win G5.
