Overview
- Playing his first game after eight missed with a calf strain, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 29 points and eight rebounds in Milwaukee’s 112-103 road victory.
- With 1.9 seconds left, he threw down an uncontested windmill dunk, drawing immediate objections from Nikola Vucevic and Coby White and leading to a contained shoving match.
- Antetokounmpo defended the play as a wake-up call for a team sitting 11th in the East, saying the Bucks are fighting for their season and need to “get our hands dirty.”
- Asked about his future, he called the question disrespectful and replied, “I’m here,” adding he will give everything he has while wearing the Bucks jersey.
- Vucevic alluded to a local report that Chicago declined interest in a Giannis trade; that claim has been reported locally but remains unverified.
