Trae Young sends well wishes to Giannis Antetokounmpo following knee injury

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young sent well wishes to Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks after he suffered a left knee injury in Game 4 onTuesday.

Trae Young and Giannis Antetokounmpo are rivals in the Eastern Conference Finals, as both are looking to clinch a spot in the NBA Finals for the first time in their careers. But that was put aside following Game 4 on Tuesday night, when the Milwaukee Bucks star left the game in the third quarter with a left knee hyperextension while contesting a dunk by Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela.

Young, who was on the sidelines for the game due to a bone bruise in his right foot, sent well wishes Antetokounmpo’s way on Twitter on Tuesday night.

After Antetokounmpo attempted to block Capela’s dunk, the Bucks star was in pain as he clutched his left knee. He did manage to walk back to the locker room before briefly returning to the bench area. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after heading to the back.

According to ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Antetokounmpo is expected to undergo imaging on his left knee on Wednesday after the team returns to Milwaukee. From there, we will get a better idea of how long the Bucks star could be sidelined.

Young was ruled out for Game 4 after being ruled a game-time decision hours prior. The Hawks guard was reportedly dealing with “severe lack of mobility” leading up to the contest. He hopes to be ready for Game 5 on Thursday.
