The Milwaukee Bucks have been given a massive boost after it was revealed that Giannis Antetokounmpo is set to return to the line-up for their clash at the Detroit Pistons.
The Milwaukee Bucks have had a mini-crisis of sorts in recent weeks as the side slipped down the Eastern Conference rankings after a strong start to the season. Their talisman Giannis Antetokounmpo has been out of action with a knee injury for the last five games, and quite naturally – it meant a slump in form for the Bucks who lost three of their last five games.
Antetokounmpo has missed the last five games with a lingering knee injury, but all along the team was confident that it was nothing major. He was able to do work in the weight room and on the court during the process, but was held out longer than expected out of precaution. And as it turns out, Giannis has finally been cleared to start for the Bucks in their next NBA outing.
The Bucks will travel to Detroit to face the Pistons on Monday night, and it turns out that Giannis Antetokounmpo has been deemed to be probable for the outing at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. It arrives as a huge boost for the 2021 champions who will be glad to have their talisman back as they try and improve on their third position on the Eastern Conference table.
As it turns out, Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t the only player who is set to make a return to action.
Who else has been cleared to make their return to action for the Milwaukee Bucks?
It turns out that Khris Middleton has also been cleared to return to action for the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
Much like Giannis, Middleton has also been out since the middle of December last year – and will make his return back to the court on Monday. Despite saying at media day that he would return “hopefully close to the start of the season,” Middleton ended up missing the first 20 games while recovering from a wrist surgery, and has only played seven games this season.
The Bucks have been given a huge boost having their star men back, and will hope to return to the kind of form in which they started the season.
