Bucks President hints on Giannis' possible return date

Milwaukee Bucks president Peter Feigin has talked about Giannis Antetokounmpo and hinted on his possible return date. Bucks superstar sprained his left knee during Friday’s 113-103 loss to the LA Lakers, but the injury is minor. Speaking on The Zach Gelb Show, Feigin said: “No big damage. He’s recovering. Good days to take some rest. He’s doing well. He took an MRI. I think everybody is happy with a quick rehab and having a couple of nights to stay off of it." However, Bucks president does not know if Antetokounmpo will return for Thursday’s home game against Boston (42-21) or if he will need a few more days to recover. “We expect him to be back soon, certainly within the next few games,” Feigin said. “The interesting thing with Giannis is it’s, like, impossible to keep him off the court. Our biggest complaint is not internally; it’s to basically fight him to take the time to heal." Milwaukee have lost three straight and four of five but still have the best record in the league. The club also had the best record in the league last season, going 60-22 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Bucks led Toronto 2-0 in that series before losing four straight to end the season. And they haven’t forgotten about that, either. Or the fact that they might not be getting the national respect that they deserve. “No question about it,” Feigin said. “We feel it. We feel it every day. It’s part of the pressure. We love being in the upper-echelon of performance, and I think everybody is acutely aware that really the playoffs are what makes or breaks you.” Milwaukee's next match is against Boston Celtics on Thursday at the Fiserv Forum.
