However, is his momentum in danger of being halted unceremoniously?
Injuries can be a sour reality that players are forced to deal with every season. And unfortunately for the Bucks, their best player is dealing with it right now.
With that being said, will Giannis Antetokounmpo be healthy enough to feature against the Bulls tonight? Or will his most recent injury force him to sit on the sidelines?

However, as worrying as it may sound, reports suggest that the injury isn’t very serious at all. In fact, as per ESPN, the Greek Freak is probable to play in the game tonight.
However, there is a dilemma here.
The Chicago Bulls haven’t been very good this year, sitting at just 11th in the East. Worse yet, they are currently on a 5-game losing streak, making one thing very clear.
Even if Giannis doesn’t play this game, Milwaukee still stands a very good chance to win anyway.
So, with all that in mind, should the Bucks really be risking their superstar for this game?
Frankly, we don’t think so.
