Gentle is not the word I would use to describe Giannis’s warm-up routine. Headphones on. Not talking to anyone (including a trainer). Did his business as usual, and trotted off the court. #Bucks.

Giannis’ injury status was upgraded to questionable prior to team warm ups.

Antetokounmpo hasn’t suited up for the Bucks since hyper-extending his left knee last week during the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tip-off from Phoenix for game 1 tonight is set for 8pm.
