His status in the last 24 hours went from doubtful, to questionable, to he's now playing...

Giannis on injury: Initially feared I'd be out a year

After initially fearing he'd be out for a year upon landing awkwardly last week in Atlanta, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was able to return for Game 1 of the NBA Finals with the help of his team's medical staff and round-the-clock treatment.

27,9, & 4

21, 7 & 6...in about 30 minutes total.
Suns are gonna make him work on defense...so he could end up in foul trouble pretty early.

Personally I would've sat him tonight..and waited to make a decision based on the tonight's game result to bring him back or not for Thursday...or Sunday.

How much work can he possibly do guarding Crowder or Bridges? Bucks would probably love if the Suns get away from their normal offense and try to run stuff for those 2 more than normal

Hahaha...we'll see.

Lots of double screens/pick & rolls and fast breaks are in the Suns' repertoire.

This year has definitely been an outlier in terms of injured stars in the playoffs

[bksballer89]

GIannis looks fine

 

[bksballer89]

This Ayton on Giannis match won't work.

Crowder should be the primary defender

Kinda nice watching an NBA finals where I’m not actively rooting for a team to lose.

Probably the first time since 1994 when it was Rockets v Knicks

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

The Suns have no answer for... Brook Lopez??

Fun Qtr

 

[DJ Fieri]

Good start.

No one has an answer for the Mexican Mamba.

 

[bksballer89]

Not sure what the refs wanted Forbes to do there

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Think Giannis is gonna be just fine this series.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

A lotta falling down out there

 

[msgkings322]

My 7 games prediction feels pretty good
Evenly matched teams

I haven't really paid attention to the nba since early 2000 late 90's, is this really basketball.
