Rivers: "Giannis will return – There is no question of ending his season

Bucks head coach Doc Rivers confirmed that Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to the court once he is fully healthy. Despite rumors about prematurely ending his season, the team insists the MVP is working daily and is close to making a comeback. Antetokounmpo has been sidelined since late January with a calf strain, and the Bucks are prioritizing a cautious recovery process. His decision to stay in Milwaukee past the trade deadline has significantly boosted locker room morale and cleared the air regarding his future. Statistics show the Bucks struggle immensely without their star player, holding a much poorer record when he is absent from the lineup. Looking ahead, the focus remains on his potential contract extension and the team's commitment to building a title-contending roster.
