The big Bucks update on Giannis

Absent this Thursday night for the new Bucks game, Giannis Antetokounmpo must have enjoyed the show. Her frankness won, and she made an important point about her health. A quick return cannot be ruled out.

After a rather worrying loss in Game 4, all without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks reacted perfectly this Thursday night. They got the better of the Hawks, all 123-112. Khris Middleton did his job with 26 units, but it was Brook Lopez who woke up with 33 points at 14/18 shooting. Pure domination in the racket, which feels good.

This success means that Milwaukee now leads 3-2 in the series, and will have a match point in Game 6. Will Giannis be back? It’s unlikely, but the suspense remains with the Bucks’ latest update.

In front of the media before the game, Mike Budenholzer gave news of his star. He was able to work a little in the weight room, but no shots on the program. His knee is still sore, and he needs time to heal. Despite the stakes, his team will not take the slightest risk.

Mike Budenholzer said Giannis Antetokounmpo did work in the weight room at shoot around this morning, but didn’t do any on-court work. Budenholzer expects him to be in the building tonight.

Mike Budenholzer said Giannis Antetokounmpo worked in the weight room this morning, but didn’t work on the floor. The coach explained that Giannis should be in the hall tonight.

A quick return? Maybe, but it’s still too early to tell. However, finding him in the weight room leaves hope. In any case, he appeared in good shape for Game 5, since the Freak was on the bench with his partners:

A reassuring update for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who no doubt hopes to return to the grand final, if the Bucks reach it. There is hope, especially with this nice success from Milwaukee. The fans can believe it.
