The Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers played a very physical game on Friday night. Antetokounmpo bumped Lakers guard Avery Bradley to the floor during the fourth quarter and landed on top of him. Antetokounmpo’s left leg was awkwardly placed as he fell.

The Milwaukee superstar stayed in the game after that fall, but a player grabbing his knee in pain after a weird landing is not what you want to see.
The Bucks fell 113-103 on Friday night, just their 10th loss in 63 games so far this season.
