NBA
Antetokounmpo was bent in the ribs by Bankero’s elbow
Giannis Antetokounmpo gets elbowed right in the ribs by Paolo Bankero without the Greek Freak following up.
The game took place in the middle of the third period, the Bucks had the lead and control of the game, the Magic had lost the consistency that they had shown in the first part. Everything went downhill for Orlando when Paolo Banquero shut down on offense and elbowed Giannis Antetokounmpo in the ribs to find space and deliver the ball.
The Greek Freak bowed but didn’t go any further. He held his breath and carried on as if nothing had happened, which is how he always reacts to accidental or intentionally unsportsmanlike hits. Even in Philadelphia, when Joel Embiid tried to cut him in half with one of the dirtiest fouls in the NBA in recent years.
