NEW YORK — Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the lineup for the Milwaukee Bucks in an NBA Cup sport in opposition to the New York Knicks on Friday night time after lacking 4 video games due to a groin pressure.
Antetokounmpo strained his left groin throughout Milwaukee’s 118-106 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Nov. 17. A day later, Bucks coach Doc Rivers stated the two-time MVP would seemingly miss two weeks.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.2 factors, 10.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists. He scored 14 factors in 13 minutes earlier than getting injured.
The Bucks are 0-5 this season when Antetokounmpo doesn’t play. He traveled with the workforce to Miami on Wednesday, when the Bucks have been handed a 106-103 loss.
Antetokounmpo was named the MVP of the in-season event final 12 months, when the Bucks beat the Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder to assert the title after shedding to the Indiana Pacers within the semifinals in 2023.
