Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo said he “did not play well” on his return from injury but the two-time NBA MVP was just “happy” to be back on the court.
The 31-year-old made his comeback after missing six weeks of action with a calf strain in a 108-81 defeat against the Boston Celtics.
He put up 19 points, 11 rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes in a defeat that left the 2021 champion Bucks 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 26-34 record.
Antetokounmpo said “we’ve got 24 games left – it’s 24 fights” when asked about the Bucks’ battle to reach the post-season. Antetokounmpo had missed 15 games through injury.
