CLEVELAND, USA – Na wetin we see on Monday night, as Milwaukee Bucks superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, catch groin injury for second quarter during dem match wey dem dey play against Cleveland Cavaliers.
Giannis, the man wey dey score like say him get wind at his back, don already chalk 14 points from 6 shots out of 10 in just 13 minutes before he gree waka go sit down as him try to drive pass Jarrett Allen inside court.
No be lie, the guy dey tie with second best scorer for league, with 32.6 points per game. But wahala no dey finish, as dem announce say him go dey do MRI to check how serious the injury be.
Bucks coach, Doc Rivers, after the match, talk say the injury no be better thing. He add say, “I can tell you that it didn’t look great. We go know more tomorrow.” (E be like say Rivers dey pray say him star go fit bounce back.)
As the game dey move along, na so Giannis dey grab hin groin like say e no sabi wetin him dey do. Just as e dey try to play defense with 3:03 remaining for second quarter, e hobbled before him finally pack him bags go locker room. Na wah!
Bucks don dey struggle too, dem don lose two matches back-to-back, and after this one, dem dey 8-7 for season. Without Giannis, you fit bet say dem go need all the hustle they fit gather to survive.
One of hin teammates, Bobby Portis, gas talk say, “Na just unfortunate matter, our main man dey go down. We really need him.” And Myles Turner, another player matter, don chuk him mouth, say, “Na next man up matter. We go still find way to shine.” (No be small matter, una fit do am!)
Before the injury, Giannis dey play like man wey just find money for market, averaging 32.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 7.1 assists. Na serious scoring wey him dey bring come court. If him fit get back quickly, e go be something wey the Bucks go dey welcome with both hands.
But as at now, the team dey prepare for worst case scenario. Rivers don set plans if Giannis no fit play. “We go find something wey go work for us. Even if thing no dey look bright now, we go need silver lining to shine, if na so e go be.” (And if dem fit survive this stretch without their star, dem fit become better in the long run.)
So, as we dey look the situation now, make we just dey hope say Giannis go recover fast. Dem go need him sharp and ready as dem dey plan to take on Philadelphia 76ers for dem next match. One love, Giannis!
