Giannis Antetokounmpo made a triumphant return to the court, scoring 23 points in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 116-110 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. After missing six games with a strained calf, Giannis played under a minutes restriction, logging just under 24 minutes. He left the game for good with 6:27 remaining, and the Bucks trailing 101-96.
The Bucks then staged an impressive fourth-quarter rally, overcoming a 13-point deficit to secure the win. Brook Lopez played a crucial role, scoring 22 points, including a three-point play with 3:02 remaining that put the Bucks ahead for good.
Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 25 points, while James Harden added 24 and Ivica Zubac contributed 20 points and 15 rebounds. Despite the loss, Harden achieved a milestone, becoming the 13th player in NBA history to reach 27,000 points.
The Bucks’ win marked their second straight victory, improving their record to 30-24. They’ll look to extend their streak when they visit the Washington Wizards on Friday.
