Against seemingly all odds (although, can I really say that? It is the Greek Freak after all), Giannis Antetokounmpo STARTED this game. He’d pour in four points in the opening quarter, but ten points off the bench from Bobby Portis (who was also making his return) aided the Bucks in securing a 42-32 lead after one quarter of play.
In the middle of the second quarter, it was revealed that Giannis would be out for the remainder of the game after he knocked his right knee against an opponent. However, Milwaukee wouldn’t have any trouble constructing and maintaining a lead.
