Giannis Antetokounmpo's Final Status for Suns-Bucks Revealed

Giannis Antetokounmpo will play tonight against the Phoenix Suns.

PHOENIX -- The Milwaukee Bucks will indeed have Giannis Antetokounmpo available tonight against the Phoenix Suns.

Antetokounmpo landed on Milwaukee's injury report as probable with patellar tendinitis in his right knee but was given the green light ahead of game time.

In 48 games this season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per night on 61.3% shooting from the field. 

Only Luka Doncic (34.5) has more points averaged per night than Antetokounmpo among active players - Joel Embiid was averaging 35.3 ppg before his surgery. 

He's played no less than 37 minutes in his last four games as Milwaukee looks to conclude their road trip tonight after losing their last four-of-six entering Footprint Center.

Despite their poor form, the Bucks are still 33-17 on the year thus far and are tied for second in the Eastern Conference standings. 

Giannis is having a ridiculous season

• Career-high 31.3 PPG
• Career-high 6.4 APG
• Career-high 61.3% FG
• Career-high 7 triple doubles already
• 8.3 APG last 10 games
• 50% midrange last 10 games
• 34% 3P since Jan 3
• Bucks net rating 17.7 pts better w/ him on court
