Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight against Chicago Bulls? Latest on Milwaukee Bucks superstar's availability (Dec. 23)

Giannis Antetokounmpo's status for the Milwaukee Bucks' matchup against their conference rivals Chicago Bulls on Monday remains uncertain. The Bucks superstar is sidelined after being listed as "questionable" on the team's injury report due to back spasms.

The two-time league MVP was a late scratch from Milwaukee's lineup in its previous game against the Washington Wizards. Despite missing both Giannis and Damian Lillard, the Bucks secured a 112-101 victory over the league's worst team.

Giannis last took the court during Milwaukee's 124-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. In that game, the one-time NBA Finals MVP delivered an impressive performance, scoring 33 points in 30 minutes on 13 of 22 shooting, including 1 of 1 from beyond the arc. He also added 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Recently, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to an NBA Cup championship and earned MVP honors for his stellar performances throughout the in-season tournament.

The Greek Freak is having another phenomenal season and is a frontrunner for the league MVP award. He has played in 24 of Milwaukee's 27 games this season, averaging 32.7 points on 61.3% shooting, including 22.2% from 3-point range.

Giannis is also contributing 11.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, further solidifying his position as one of the league's most dominant players.
