THE Giannis Antetokounbos talked about the defeat of Milwaukee Bucks by their Indiana Pacers (129-103) and the injury of his teammate Damian Lillard who seems to have ruptured Achilles.
Specifically, Yiannis Antetokounbos in the post game of the race was especially stood at Lillard’s unfortunate moment, who left injured from the Bucks’ fight against the Pacers And if the estimates are confirmed, it will stay out of parquet for a long time.
The Greak Freak stressed that it is difficult when you see a teammate injured in this way, while expressing his optimism that the 34 -year -old will be able to quickly overcome his injury because he is one of the strong characters in the NBA.
It is worth noting that the Bucks, in addition to the injury to Lillard, have to manage their 3-1 against the Pacers, with the “deer” close to blocking the NBA playoffs.
The words of Yannis Antetokounbos
“You see your teammate down and your first thought is ‘come up, get up’. It was some time down, he couldn’t get up and then you think ‘ok, let’s see’. The trainer goes there.
The physiotherapist goes there. They check what it is, but when you see a player not getting up and unable to walk alone, you realize that it is serious. Especially for someone like Dam, who is a fighter. He wants to play in the big games. He wants to help the team win.
When you see such a player can’t walk on his own, you know that he may be serious and then hoped for the best possible scenario. For the time being, we just hope the best scenario for him, for his health. It’s difficult.
Obviously seeing anyone who passes through it is difficult. You don’t want anyone to get injured and you don’t know how serious the injury is. You just wish for the best possible scenario, but again no matter if your teammate, or your opponent, you don’t want to see someone beating because I think we spend so much time and make so much effort in our jobs and try to be healthy and helping our team.
You don’t want to fall down because you don’t know how much it will affect your career, but at the same time I am talking about my teammate, Dam. I have seen in the last two years we have been teammates, the things that have gone through and out of parquet. As I said before, I have so much respect for him. Many do not see what Dam had to face, but I am next to him every day and it is difficult.
It is difficult to be in this position, but it is one of the strongest, most spiritually strongest that I have co -exist and that’s why it is and I think it will overcome any obstacle to it. Everyone will be there for him. Whatever the obstacle, we will overcome it and help him overcome it. “
