Will Giannis Antetokounmpo play against the Chicago Bulls?
Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers dropped an optimistic update on the star after Saturday's practice ended. Giannis was a full participant in the team's workout and did not pick up any injuries during the ramp-up process.
"Bucks head coach Doc Rivers tells reporters that Giannis Antetokounmpo went live five-on-five at today's practice and they plan on having him play on Sunday against the Bulls," Bucks insider Eric Nehm tweeted.
Injury issues with Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo dealt with an injury on his left foot during last season's playoffs, which saw the Milwaukee Bucks get eliminated in the first round. In the offseason, the two-time MVP led his national team in the European Championships but picked up a knee injury during the competition, restricting him to miss one game.
Antetokounmpo is willing to aim for another championship . However, he has not come close to securing his second title over the past three seasons, with injuries playing a big role in Milwaukee's first-round exit during that period.
However, their success will depend on whether Antetokounmpo manages to remain fit throughout the season.
