Giannis Antetokounmpo is back in the starting lineup Tuesday as the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Brooklyn Nets.
Antetokounmpo missed Sunday’s victory over the Phoenix Suns due to a right quadriceps injury. He was injured during Friday’s win over the Miami Heat.
Antetokounmpo was cleared to play Tuesday after pre-game warmups. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said during his pregame session with reporters that Antetokounmpo was expecting to play but that a final decision would be made after the warm-up session.
Antetokounmpo also has been dealing with a right wrist injury of late, but that ailment isn’t preventing him from playing.
The Bucks have been thriving with 14 consecutive victories, the longest streak in the NBA this season. They also own the league’s top record at 43-17.
Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA MVP, is averaging 31.3 points, 12.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 48 games this season.
