Giannis bounces back but slams talk of leaving Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a game-high 29 points on his return from injury as the Milwaukee Bucks earned a 112-103 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

Antetokounmpo had missed eight games with a right calf strain, with the Bucks losing six of those matches.

The defeat for Chicago ended their five-game winning streak, but they still sit ninth and two places above Bucks in the Eastern Conference.

After the game, however, Antetokounmpo shot down any talk of controversy about him and his future in Milwaukee. He said at a press conference: “I’m here. I’m here. I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. I’m here. It’s disrespectful towards myself and my teammates. I wear that jersey every single day.”
