The Greek Freak returns

Giannis Antetokounmpo returned as the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Brooklyn Nets

Entering the week, rumors swirled that the Bucks were considering benching Giannis Antetokounmpo until the playoffs. However, the 24-year-old last night returned during the team's 131-121 victory over the Nets at Barclays Center, scoring 28 points in just 30 minutes.

The win left Antetokounmpo and the Bucks with a league-best 58-20 record, and the team are now just one win out from securing playoff home-court advantage.

The Greek Freak is still carrying an ankle injury that he sustained last month against the Sixers, although it appears that the MVP contender will continue to play until the Bucks secure the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

This can happen as soon as Thursday if Milwaukee can overcome Philadelphia, and it is possible that Antetokounmpo may be rested once the Bucks have ensured they enter the playoffs with the league's best record.
