The two-time defending NBA most valuable player will be making his triumphant return to the Milwaukee Bucks lineup tonight. Giannis Antetokounmpo has missed the last six games with a sore left knee, but Ted Davis has confirmed that Giannis has been cleared to return against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Bucks struggled without Giannis going 3-3. Their three wins came against teams with a combined 64-112 record. His absence was most noticed on the defensive end, where opponents put up an average of 114.2 points per game and went north of 120 in three of those six games.
