Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing Tonight vs Celtics?: Bucks Superstar's Availability For Big Game Invokes Doubt

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks have just been too darn good this season. The franchise has won a whopping 7 of its last 10 games and is currently even on a winning streak of 2 games at the moment. Simply put, they have all the momentum in the world going for them during the most key stretch of the regular season.

That said, the health of their biggest star, Antetokounmpo has started to prove itself as a worry. The man was forced to miss the franchise’s recent game against the Pistons due to an ailment that he had picked up. And while he has since appeared on the court, some doubts regarding his health still remain.

So, with that in mind, is the Greek Freak now healthy enough to feature for the Bucks tonight, against the Celtics? Or will he be forced to sit out once again?

 

ESPN releases Giannis Antetokounmpo’s health status ahead of big game against Jayson Tatum and co.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had to sit out the game against the Pistons earlier, due to knee soreness. However, as per ESPN, that is no longer a problem for the man, which now makes him eligible to play tonight.

Of course, the prospect of Giannis facing off against the likes of Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown. However, the problem is that this is the second leg of a back-to-back. And given that the superstar played in the first leg too, the Bucks may look to rest him, despite his health status. So, simply put, while the man is completely healthy now, it has yet to be seen if he will take the floor against the Celtics tonight.

 

What is Giannis Antetokounmpo averaging this season?

After 60 games played, Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. Additionally, the man is shooting 55.3% from the field, 28.5% from three, and 64.8% from the charity stripe.
