WATCH: Giannis Antetokounmpo leaves mid-game against Boston Celtics due to injury

Giannis Antetokounmpo was being tested on his left calf after leaving the Milwaukee Bucks win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers stated that Antetokounmpo was having an MRI exam on his calf and will also have his Achilles tendon checked.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was coming up the court following Boston's Derrick White's 3-pointer late in the third quarter when he clutched his left leg and took a seat on the floor before being assisted off the game.

As per AP News, Damian Lillard stated that “Any time you see one of your teammates go down, it’s I think a real level of concern,” “We spend a lot of time around each other, more than we would our families. I think that was the No. 1 thing. And then for it to be your best player, the most important part of our team, at this point in the season, it was like an, ‘Oh, (damn)’ moment, especially because there was nobody else around.”
