The Milwaukee Bucks were on the wrong end of some terrible news on Wednesday night after it was revealed that Thanasis Antetokounmpo had suffered a potentially career-threatening Achilles injury. The 31-year-old will reportedly have to undergo surgery to address the issue, and he will certainly be forced to sit out a significant amount of time as he recovers from one of the most serious injuries a player can sustain.

At this point, the fans have the same burning question running through their minds regarding this disastrous turn of events.

This is exactly why the fans on X have been asking the same question:
Up and until we get more details on the nature of Thanasis’ injury, you can expect the same line of questioning from the fans.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo Savagely Clowned on X

Given that Antetokounmpo will turn 32 this summer, coupled with the fact that he is far from an important player on the squad, there is a possibility that this could be a career-ending injury for the 6-foot-7 forward. Thanasis will be a free agent this summer, and it’s hard to imagine the Bucks offering him an extension while knowing that he will likely miss a big chunk, if not all of the 2024-25 season.
Be that as it may, this hasn’t stopped the haters from savagely trolling Thanasis amid his undesirable predicament.
The internet can be a truly cruel place at times.
