Milwaukee, Wisconsin After missing two games due to a left hamstring injury, Giannis Antetokounmpo is back in the Milwaukee Bucks starting lineup on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets.
The two-time MVP Antetokounmpo has been out with what the team diagnosed as tendinopathy in his hamstring. Pain from tendinopathy is typically the consequence of overuse.
Milwaukee won’t play at its best all the time. After playing 33 minutes in a 122-119 defeat to Boston, Khris Middleton will take a night off as the Bucks continue to control his workload while he recovers from an injured left ankle.
After missing 16 straight games due to an ankle strain, Middleton made his comeback on Sunday in a 140-129 victory against the Phoenix Suns.
Before the game on Thursday, Bucks coach Doc Rivers stated, “He’s been out all these games, and he’s playing great.” “We just want to keep him where he’s at.”
Since a win against Dallas on February 3, the Bucks haven’t had their top three players—Antetokounmpo, Middleton, and seven-time all-NBA guard Damian Lillard—available for the same game.
