Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to action Monday night against the Boston Celtics, marking his first appearance in more than five weeks.
Antetokounmpo has missed 15 games while recovering from a strained right calf. His return comes in a high-profile matchup against Boston, one of the Eastern Conference’s top teams and a frequent postseason opponent for Milwaukee.
What it means for Milwaukee
Getting Antetokounmpo back restores the Bucks’ centerpiece on both ends of the floor after an extended stretch without him. Monday’s game will be his first since the injury sidelined him for more than a month.
