Jokester Giannis Antetokounmpo gives finger injury update citing wife Mariah Riddlesprigger's reaction 

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously provided an injury update after hurting his pinky finger, citing his wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger's reaction. Giannis endured the injury during Monday's 128-104 win over the Toronto Raptors. His finger brushed the rim while attempting a chase-down block late in the second quarter.

Giannis was back on the court. However, he needed stitches on his finger to get the recovery started. Giannis gave an injury update on Tuesday, saying:

"I feel great. I got some stitches in my finger. I told my wife. My wife's still with me. She still likes me. So, we won the game, good day."

When asked about the impact of the injury, Giannis, a season 20.0% 3-point shooter on 0.7 attempts joked:

"I might not be able to make 3s now. Oh, my goodness!"

Doc Rivers revealed that Giannis Antetokounmpo's finger kept bleeding, which impacted his ball-handling greatly after the Bucks star insisted on continuing on the court. However, it seems like a short-term issue. According to the Bucks' latest injury report for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, Giannis is likely to play with a probable status and is not listed for the finger injury.
