So, as per the latest news we could get our hands on, Giannis Antetokounmpo might be out with a wrist injury. To add to it, he hasn’t featured in the warm-ups for the All-Star game.
It is more than likely that he sits this one out and with no time for a replacement, we will see “Team Giannis” with one player short.
But no worries, he has been brushing up his skills as a coach. And he even said he wants to be a coach later on. Will he win his first game vs Team LeBron?

Giannis is second on the NBA’s MVP ladder. And it comes courtesy of statistics that are mind-boggling. He is averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.
He is doing this while shooting over 53% from the field. Stats like these have only been accomplished by Wilt Chamberlain.
Will the Greek Freak return soon enough to take the 1st place? Will the Bucks go all the way? Questions that are tantalizing fans day in and day out, but before all that, let’s first enjoy tomorrow’s all-star game.
