Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo left Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers with a right ankle sprain.

Right ankle sprain for Giannis Antetokounmpo. He's out for the rest of the night.

Antetokounmpo had his ankle stepped on by Clippers guard Austin Rivers and fell into a heap under the basket.

However, the 6'11' two-time all-star forward was able to walk to the locker room under his own power and high-fived fans on the way out.

Here’s where it happened. Hopefully they’ll tape it and he’ll be good.
Also, notice that despite being frustrated and in pain, he takes the time to high five all three fans. He’s the best. pic.twitter.com/uxy5ls3czM
