Giannis Antetokounmpo has a sprained ligament, but further tests indicated on Monday that the Milwaukee Bucks star averted "severe" damage to his injured right wrist, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Antetokounmpo hurt his wrist in Milwaukee's final game before the All-Star break, a victory against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. He never returned to the game. Antetokounmpo was able to participate in the weekend's All-Star festivities, serving as team captain alongside LeBron James. He started the All-Star game on Sunday, but after scoring the first basket, he committed an intentional foul to exit the game. He was due to see a specialist on Monday for more testing, which showed the depth of his injuries. According to a source on Monday, Antetokounmpo will miss several games but will be able to return if the swelling and soreness diminish. The Bucks will return from the All-Star break 41-17, a half-game behind the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings. The Bucks are coming off a 12-game winning run after All-Star Khris Middleton returned from a prolonged injury hiatus. The announcement on Monday gives the Bucks hope that they can challenge for the No. 1 seed in the East and win their second title with Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo, a seven-time All-Star and two-time NBA MVP, is vying for his third trophy while averaging a career-high 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 53.8% from the field.

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
