NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo felt good playing his first game since Saturday August (12/12) and would have enjoyed it more if his left eye hadn’t been injured early after an elbow hit. unnoticed.
“If I didn’t hurt my eye two minutes into the game, I’d probably feel even better,” Antetokounmpo said after Luka Doncic’s Milwaukee Bucks game against the Dallas Mavericks on opening day of the NBA preseason. It was good to be there, to have fun with my teammates, to compete. He just plays basketball. “
Despite being hit in the eye, Antetokounmpo didn’t feel like spending his first playing opportunity in months next to the bench. “I knew I was seriously injured once the doctor checked my eye, I felt fine. I wanted to play again. I don’t want to play for just two minutes and sit the rest. “
He proceeded to finish with 25 points and 10 rebounds in a 112-102 loss. “We practiced four times together. Obviously we’re going to be rusty, obviously we have to build our chemistry. We did some good things, some things that we didn’t do so well. We have to go back, watch the tape, improve in practice and come back on Monday and hopefully be better. “
“But it’s good to be there, it’s good to play with these guys and try to win games with these guys,” Giannis added.

As Antetokounmpo turns his attention to Monday’s rematch against the Mavs, Bucks fans and probably the entire NBA world are anticipating what will happen until December 21 when the deadline expires for the Greek Freak to sign an extension with the Bucks. Giannis has said that he’s not focusing on his contract situation right now, but on how he and his teammates are going to improve for next season.
