Milwaukee Bucks player Thanasis Antetokounmpo is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The injury occurred during a workout this week, and as a result, he will not be able to participate in the upcoming summer games with the Greek national team as they aim to qualify for the Olympics.
Antetokounmpo has been a vital member of the Bucks team for five years, playing 34 games this season. However, his injury raises questions about his future with the team. Despite signing several one-year contracts to remain with the team, his absence from play for an entire year may force the team to reconsider their approach.
Last year, when Giannis did not play for the Greek team, Thanasis had a more significant role. However, with his injury, he is likely to miss most, if not all, of the next NBA season. This news is a blow not only to Antetokounmpo but also to the Bucks and their fans who have grown accustomed to seeing him on the court.
