Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo played through a knee injury in the NBA Finals, so while they were able to win it all, there are some concerns regarding his injury.
To recall, Giannis sustained a left knee hyperextension in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference finals showdown with the Atlanta Hawks. The Bucks star missed the last two contests of the said series, and there were fears prior that he would not be able to suit up in the NBA Finals against the Phoenix Suns.
Besides, a hyperextended left knee is no easy injury to recover from. In fact, two-time NBA Champion Chris Bosh even thought the Greek Freak wouldn't be able to return since he experienced the same injury before.
Of course, everyone knows what happened after that. The 26-year-old Bucks forward fought his way through the injury and led Milwaukee to it's first title since 1971.
Now, while there are still questions regarding Antetokounmpo's knee injury, Bucks GM Jon Horst confirmed he won't need any offseason procedures.
As for Giannis Antetokounmpo, it's easy to forget he suffered that scary-looking knee injury in the Eastern Conference Finals.#Bucks GM Jon Horst said the Finals MVP needs no offseason procedures:

That's certainly good news for Bucks fans since it means they'll enter their title-defense campaign with a healthy and well-rested Giannis Antetokounmpo.
With the Los Angeles Lakers already adding Russell Westbrook and a lot of other teams expected to bolster their own rosters this offseason, the Bucks will certainly need Giannis and lady luck to smile in their favor health-wise.
