"I want to come back, but I want to make sure I'm healthy. I'm not putting my myself at risk. It doesn't matter if I play for 18, 20 minutes, 22, whatever. I'm just happy that I'm out there. I'm just in a mindset not to take nothing for granted."
"The more I'm in shape and the more I have my wind under me, the more I can be able to help my team... the more you're trying to figure out yourself in your spots how you play with your teammates, the more you kind of cave into yourself and you're not as vocal, you do not control the game as much."
"I'm just happy that I'm out there being able to help my teammates in any way I can and just doing what I love, which is playing basketball. I think I'm in a minute restriction, from what I'm understanding. I trust the the coaching staff and training staff and am slowly getting back in rhythm."
Giannis Antetokounmpo made his return after missing 15 games with a calf strain, recording 19 points and 11 rebounds in the Milwaukee Bucks' 108-81 loss to the Boston Celtics. The two-time MVP described himself as "a little bit rusty" and emphasized the importance of being cautious with his recovery, stating he wants to ensure he is healthy rather than risk further injury. Playing 25 minutes under a minute restriction, Antetokounmpo expressed happiness at being able to help his teammates while gradually regaining his rhythm and conditioning. He acknowledged the team did not play well and noted he is still adjusting to finding his role within the team's system.
