Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight against Nets? Latest on Bucks 2xMVP's availability (Dec. 26)

Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as "questionable" on the Milwaukee Bucks' injury report, putting his availability for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets in doubt. The two-time MVP has been dealing with back spasms, which have sidelined him for the Bucks' last two games.

Milwaukee head coach Doc Rivers recently provided an update on Giannis' condition following his absence from the game against the Chicago Bulls.

"He (Giannis) just had to feel better, and he didn’t, so we just sat him down," Rivers said.

Despite missing superstars Giannis and Damian Lillard in their last two games, the Bucks have found a way to win, with their role players stepping up to deliver clutch performances. The Bucks have now improved to a 16-12 record, bouncing back impressively after a tough 2-8 start to the season. They currently hold the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the frontrunners for the MVP award, has missed four of the Bucks' 28 games this season. However, when the Greek Freak has been on the court, he has been nothing short of dominant.

The one-time NBA champion leads the league in scoring, averaging 32.7 points per game and is just outside the top five in rebounding with 11.6 boards per game. Additionally, he ranks fourth in field goal percentage, shooting an impressive 61.3% from the floor.

Bucks fans are eagerly hoping for Giannis to recover from his recent injury setback and return to the court soon as the team continues its upward momentum.
