So far this season, Giannis has been averaging 32.6 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. These stats and the impressive start have put Antetokounmpo at the top of the MVP rankings.
As the Thunder come to town, fans wonder whether Giannis will play the second night of a back-to-back or whether he will sit this one out.
Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight?
The Milwaukee Bucks are still waiting to get their All-Star Khris Middleton back. He’s been out since the playoffs and is expected to be out till November 14 at least. At the same time, they are also missing other players such as Pat Connaughton and Joe Ingles.
In the injury report updated by the team, there is no mention of Giannis so far. This means Giannis Antetokounmpo will play tonight.
With Giannis on the court, the Bucks would like to build on their excellent start to the season and try to extend their streak to as long as they can.
