According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Giannis Antetokounmpo will be available for Monday’s game.
On Monday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will face off against the Miami Heat for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series on the road in Florida.
For the game, they will have their best player in the starting lineup, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be available.
The two-time MVP got hurt in Game 1, and has missed both Games 2 and 3.
Via Wojnarowski: “ESPN Sources: Milwaukee star Giannis Antekounmpo (lower back) is set to return to the lineup vs. Miami in Game 4 tonight. He warmed up on the court pregame and feels ready to return after missing Games 2 and 3.”
Antetokounmpo had a remarkable season with averages of 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest while shooting 55.3% from the field.
The NBA Champion forward has only played 11 minutes in the series, so his return should give them a significant boost.
Currently, the Bucks trail 2-1, and a loss would drop them into a 3-1 hole.
That said, a victory would tie up the series at 2-2 heading back to Milwaukee for Game 5 on Wednesday night.
The Bucks finished the year as the best team in the NBA and had a 58-24 record.
On the road, they are 26-16 in 42 games played away from their home floor.
