Despite the concerning visual of the play, Antetokounmpo struck an optimistic tone post-game, indicating he does not currently plan to undergo an MRI. “I’m just going to go back home, sleep, see how I feel tomorrow,” he said. “If I have a little bit of discomfort, then I’ll go from there. But as of right now, I’m not really bothered by it.” — 3/16/2026 EuroHoops.net
Giannis Antetokounmpo left Milwaukee's game against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday after landing awkwardly as he completed a dunk late in the third quarter of the Bucks' 134-123 victory. Antetokounmpo briefly remained in the game and dunked again on Milwaukee's next possession. He got fouled on the possession after that and attempted a pair of free throws before heading to the locker room. He didn't play the rest of the way. Antetokounmpo ended up with 31 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists in 30 minutes. — 3/16/2026 ESPN
Bobby Portis: And being a Buck the last six years, when you lose one game, it’s heavy on your shoulders. When you lose two or three games, it’s really heavy. You feel it. Not necessarily in the sense that you think you’re getting traded or whatever it is, but you definitely feel it. At the same time, you just try to be a pro. Being a pro every day is coming in and putting the work in. Literally, the only thing you can control is your work ethic and your attitude every day. As long as your work ethic and your attitude are good, then everything else that happens is just part of the journey. Everybody’s journey is going to be different.” — 3/16/2026 YouTube

Tony East (@tonyreast.bsky.social): Giannis was guarded by Jalen Slawson. Myles Turner and Ivica Zubac met at midcourt for the opening tip. Tyrese Haliburton is back with the team. And much more: www.circlecityspin.com/injured-pace... — 3/17/2026, 11:46:24 AM View post
