Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing Tonight vs 76ers?: Bucks Star's Availability Update Proves Encouraging

Nikola Jokic may be the frontrunner for the award, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is giving a damn good chase for the MVP award this season. The man has led his team to a stellar 45-17 record, good for the 1st seed in the Eastern conference. Arguably more important than that, however, is the fact that the franchise is currently on a streak of 16 wins, meaning they have quite a bit of good momentum behind them at the moment. But, what happens if something were to come up and threaten the flow of things here?

More specifically, is there any injury Giannis Antetokounmpo has sustained? Will he be available to partake in tonight’s contest against Joel Embiid and the 76ers?

What is the status of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s health?

There is no update as to the health condition of Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of this blockbuster matchup. So, simply put, fortunately for the Milwaukee Bucks, the Greek Freak will indeed be available for this incredible game.

However, when it comes to fellow big men, Joel Embiid is about as tough a matchup as matchups can come in the East. So, will Giannis Antetokounmpo and company’s form keep going to get them this game too? Or will the 3rd seeded Philadelphia 76ers have something to say?

 

What is Giannis Antetokounmpo averaging this season?

After 50 games played, Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.3 points, 12 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game.

He is also shooting 54.1% from the field, 28.6% from three, and 64.5% from the charity stripe.
