UPDATE 9:05PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo suffers an apparent left knee injury while challenging an alley-oop at the hoop. Antetokounmpo was helped to the locker room by his brother before briefly returning to the bench. Giannis ultimately limped back to the locker room after a few more minutes. We will have more on Giannis’s injury when that information is made available by the Bucks.

Reporting with @wojespn: Hawks star Trae Young is out for Game 4 vs. Bucks tonight with a deep bone bruise in his right foot. Young exhausted every avenue to try and find a way to return to play, but a severe lack of mobility and significant degree of pain made it impossible.
