Giannis Antetokounmpo gave Milwaukee Bucks fans a big scare after he suffered a scary fall in the fourth quarter of their Friday night match against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Attacking the basket late in the final period, Antetokounmpo muscled his way through Avery Bradley who eventually fell after getting bumped. The Greek Freak dunked the ball and got the foul, but he landed awkwardly and tripped over Bradley.
Giannis fell on his back, but it seemed he injured his left knee following the fall. The Bucks MVP held his knee high, obviously in a bit of pain, but he managed to get back up to the relief of the whole team.

The Bucks lost to the Lakers 113-103, splitting their two matchups this season. However, the team will only be thankful that nothing serious happened to Giannis Antetokounmpo, especially at this critical period with the playoffs nearing.
Antetokounmpo finished with 32 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in a losing effort for the Bucks. He was the only Milwaukee player to score over 20 markers, with Donte DiVincenzo the next closest with 17.
On the other hand, LeBron James and Co. sent a massive statement to the league. Against the reigning NBA MVP and amid talks on who should win this year's Most Valuable Player award, LeBron stepped up and finished with 37 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
Anthony Davis also had a big game to propel the Purple and Gold over the league-leading Bucks, finishing with 30 points and nine boards.
