Brutal Thanasis Antetokounmpo Update Leaves NBA Fans Baffled

Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo suffered a brutal lower-body injury, with Shams Charania of The Athletic reporting on Wednesday that Antetokounmpo "sustained a torn Achilles tendon."

Antetokounmpo barely played in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, leaving many fans wondering how the injury happened. Fans had plenty of jokes about Antetokounmpo and his injury, but it's bad timing for the older brother of two-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Thanasis is about to become a free agent in the summer, and considering how long it takes to recuperate from such an injury, his future, not just in the Bucks but in the NBA, just got a bit cloudier.

In the 2024 NBA Playoffs, Thanasis saw action for just a total of five minutes in two games and had a steal, a block, and a personal foul to his name.

NBA fans still had plenty of questions about what exactly happened for Antetokounmpo to suffer this significant injury.
