Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Sudden Exit with Groin Injury Sparks Fear of Season Jeopardy
Giannis Antetokounmpo started grabbing at his groin as soon as he went down on that last attempt at the rim.He hobbled down the floor, committed a quick foul and immediately walked off the floor and into the locker room.

It’s too early to have any firm timeline on how long Antetokounmpo could be out, but the way that he was unable to run and the quickness with which he left the court and headed to the locker room are not positive signs. Even groin injuries that don’t appear significant at first, like the one suffered by Magic forward Paolo Banchero last week, can lead to at least a week’s absence. Teams also tend to be more cautious with stars like Antetokounmpo, especially this early in the season, as we saw with the Spurs deciding to hold Victor Wembanyama out for 2-3 weeks with a calf strain.
