MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Giannis Antetokounmpo’s left knee, which he awkwardly hyperextended in Wednesday night's Game 4 loss in Atlanta, has "no structural damage" -- according to a report from ESPN.

The Milwaukee Bucks announced Antetokounmpo, 26, underwent an MRI and subsequent examination by team physician Dr. Carole Vetter of the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network. The MRI confirmed the earlier diagnosis.

The EPSN report released in a social media post from Wojnarowski declared Antetokounmpo’s knee had no ligament damage, however, the timetable for a return to the court for the two-time NBA MVP remains unknown at this time.

In the meantime, the Bucks listed the Greek Freak as heading into Game 5 at home in Milwaukee Thursday night.
