Milwaukee Bucks superstar and reigning league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo was forced to watch from the sideline as his teammates tried to salvage the season.
Antetokounmpo left Game 4 of the team's Eastern Conference semifinal against the Miami Heat on Sunday after suffering an ankle sprain in the first half. Fortunately, the Bucks managed to stay alive, thanks to the heroics of Khris Middleton.
Sure enough, Giannis was amped up following the epic showing. In fact, the “Greek Freak” dapped up his teammates in the locker room after the game as the Bucks lived to fight another day.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had been dominating prior to leaving the contest, scoring 19 points and grabbing four rebounds in just 11 minutes. However, he came up gimpy after a drive to the basket early in the second quarter and went to the locker room after shooting the free throws.
It remains to be seen what Antetokounmpo's status will be moving forward. But he showed love to his teammates after they gutted out a massive win to prolong their season.
game 5 of the Heat-Bucks series is on Tuesday, so Giannis has more time to rest.
