Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing Tonight Against Wizards? Latest Update on Bucks Star After Historic Outing (Dec. 1)

Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable as the Milwaukee Bucks hit the road for a conference matchup against the Washington Wizards. This will be the second of four meetings between the Bucks and Wizards this season. Milwaukee defeated Washington 133-120 back on Oct. 22.

Antetokounmpo recently returned to the lineup after missing some time with a left adductor strain. He played 28 minutes in the 118-109 loss to the Knicks and 19 minutes in the 116-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

The win snapped Milwaukee’s seven-game losing streak, with Antetokounmpo scoring a game-high 29 points to surpass the 21,000-point mark for his career. The ‘Greek Freak’ is already Milwaukee’s all-time leading scorer by a staggering 21,002 points, 6,791 points ahead of second-place Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Given the Bucks’ season is directly tied to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s health, the staff has been carefully managing their superstar’s workload as coach Doc Rivers plans to ease him back into a normal role. His court time might be limited on Monday, with the Wizards sitting at the bottom at 2-16.
