Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing Tonight vs Heat? Bucks Issue Injury Report for Crucial Game 4

The Milwaukee Bucks are going through a bit of a rough patch right now. Entering the playoffs, they were the favorites to win the East, finishing first seed and having MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo firing on all cylinders. However, Giannis suffered a back injury during Game 1, and hasn’t played in the series since.

There have been three games so far, with Miami leading the series 2-1. They got the split in Milwaukee and then won the first game back in the 305. The Bucks suffered a huge 121-99 loss in Game 3.

Heading into Game 4, Bucks fans are worried about Giannis and his availability for the contest.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is Questionable for Game 4

It is no secret that Giannis is the heart and soul of the Milwaukee Bucks. When he’s on the floor, the Bucks look like a whole different team. Without him, the Bucks don’t have a chance to win the title.

Knowing all of this, the fans are worried about their superstar, who hasn’t taken the floor for the last two games. Well, his status has been upgraded in the latest injury report issued by the team.

The Bucks have submitted an injury report for Game 4 tomorrow in Miami.

We all know Giannis can’t stay away from the floor for too long. With his team down 2-1, Giannis would do everything in his power to make sure he gets to play tonight and even things up before heading back home. A 3-1 deficit won’t be easy to come back from, no matter who you’re up against, and Antetokounmpo knows that.

UPDATE: As per the latest injury update, Giannis Antetokounmpo will play tonight vs the Miami Heat. 

Sources: Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to the lineup in Game 4 vs. Heat tonight barring any setbacks. Antetokounmpo missed Games 2 and 3 with a lower back contusion.
