Antetokounmpo left the game against the Boston Celtics in the third quarter because of a left calf injury.

Antetokounmpo was heading up the court following a made 3-pointer from Celtics guardDerrick White when the Bucks star went down to the floor without contact while grabbing at his left leg.

He remained down as the Bucks called a timeout, and his teammates helped carry him off the court and toward the locker room.

Antetokounmpo was officially ruled out in the fourth quarter due to what the team called a left soleus (calf muscle) strain.

Giannis finished the game with 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Bucks head coach confirmed Antetokounmpo was undergoing an MRI test on his calf and Achilles tendon.

"High, I would say that," Rivers said about his concern level. "He's Giannis. I think everyone probably feels the same way as I do right now. We're just going to hope for the best."

Antetokounmpo averages 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game in 72 appearances for the Bucks this season.
