Giannis Antetokounmpo can definitely get freaky, just ask his wife and how he drags her on his jokes in front of the media.
The Milwaukee Bucks star has a new innuendo joke about his wife as he tried to lighten up the mood concerning an injury he suffered during team’s win against the Toronto Raptors.

Antetokounmpo got his pinky finger bleeding after he tried to block the lay up by RJ Barrett in the second quarter. He almost got the swat but his finger hit the rim before he got to it, causing it to get cut.
The team confirmed he will need three stitches to fix the cut. It’s not a huge concern based on the Greek Freak’s freakish joke.
“I feel great,” Antetokounmpo said. “I got some stitches in my finger. I told my wife, my wife’s still with me. She still likes me. We won the game, good day.”

People who knows Antetokounmpo are aware that the two-time MVP is hinting on an R-18 joke as he’s done many times before.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable vs Spurs

The Bucks have released their injury report 24 hours before their hosting of the San Antonio Spurs and Antetokounmpo is among those listed as probable.
It is not because of his finger though. According to Bucks beat reporter Eric Nehm, Giannis is probable because of right patella tendinopathy.
Other players who are improbable are Khris Middleeton (bilateral ankle injury management) who missed the last game and starting five member Andre Jackson Jr. (back spasms).

Antetokounmpo’s finger should not be a problem though as Rivers already said “I think he’s good” shortly after the Raptors game.
