Griffin told the media that Antetokounmpo underwent successful surgery on his left knee, and the timeline for when he will be ready to play again is promising.
“He had a routine surgery on his left knee, and it went great,” Griffin said in a press conference on Wednesday. “Everything went as planned, and we expect him back and ready to go in training camp.”
The 28-year-old missed eight games in the first half of last season with left knee soreness. However, Antetokounmpo averaged a career-high 31.1 points with 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists.
Antetokounmpo also missed nearly half of the available minutes in the opening round of the playoffs due to a back injury. Antetokounmpo only played three games against the Miami Heat. The eight-seeded Heat went on to defeat the top-seeded Bucks in five games.
