Overview
- Antetokounmpo scored 29 points in his first game after an eight-game absence with a right calf strain as Milwaukee beat Chicago 112-103 at the United Center.
- With about 1.9 seconds remaining, he threw down a windmill dunk with no defender back; Nikola Vucevic and Coby White confronted him as players and security stepped in, and no punches were reported.
- White called the play disrespectful, and Vucevic joked about a local report that the Bulls declined interest after being contacted about a potential move.
- Antetokounmpo said the play was meant to wake up his team given Milwaukee’s position in the standings, and he posted the dunk on X with the caption, "I ain't no painter but you get the picture."
- Asked about his future, Antetokounmpo answered, "I'm here," calling the question disrespectful to his teammates as the Bucks try to steady a 13-19 season.
