Giannis drops 40-point triple-double in return
MILWAUKEE — Giannis Antetokounmpo returned following a one-game absence due to swelling in his left knee and dropped a 40-point triple-double in Saturday’s 124-114 win over the Washington Wizards.
Antetokounmpo finished with 42 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
He had sat out the Bucks’ 106-103 NBA Cup victory at Miami on Tuesday.
The two-time MVP was listed as probable before the game with tendinopathy in his right patellar tendon.
“He’s good,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers said before the game.
Antetokounmpo entered Saturday as the league’s leading scorer at 32.4 points per game. He ranked fifth in rebounds (11.9) and 20th in assists (6.4).
