Giannis Antetokounmpo Cleared to Rejoin Bucks in Miami

Milwaukee plans a cautious ramp-up guided by medical clearance.

Overview

  • Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo will fly in either tonight or tomorrow morning to meet the team in South Florida.
  • Antetokounmpo tested positive for COVID-19 in Greece, which led to him missing Media Day and the start of training camp.
  • The Bucks shifted the second half of camp to daily practices at Florida International University ahead of the preseason opener.
  • Rivers offered no commitment on his availability for Monday’s game against the Heat, with a decision to follow team and medical evaluation.
  • If cleared, the staff expects a careful ramp-up that prioritizes conditioning and likely limits his minutes.
