Giannis Antetokounmpo has knee surgery, expected to be ready for training camp

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo recently underwent a cleanup procedure in his left knee, though the team says he should be ready for training camp in September.

After feeling lingering knee discomfort since the start of the offseason, Antetokounmpo and the Bucks decided surgery was necessary.

"He had a routine surgery on his left knee, and it went great," Milwaukee coach Adrian Griffin told reporters on Wednesday. "Everything went as planned, and we expect him back and ready to go in training camp."

Antetokounmpo's status for the FIBA World Cup is unknown.
