MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo says he initially feared the knee sprain that has caused him to miss his last two games might be a much more serious injury.

The reigning NBA MVP took a hard fall late in a 113-103 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

Bucks officials said he underwent an MRI and was diagnosed with a minor joint capsule sprain of the left knee.

Antetokounmpo said he practiced Wednesday but remained uncertain over whether he would play Thursday against the Boston Celtics.
