Giannis undergoes more tests on wrist

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was scheduled to be in New York on Monday to undergo testing and get further evaluation on his injured right wrist, according to reports Monday.

Antetokounmpo injured his wrist Thursday night against the Bulls after attempting to block a shot. He exited after only nine minutes and didn’t return. Antetokounmpo had X-rays and they came back clean.

And he played only 20 seconds in his team’s 184-175 victory over Team LeBron in the All-Star Game on Sunday night.
