Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to play Monday night in his first action in more than a month, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported. The former MVP has been sidelined with a right calf injury since Jan. 23. Since then, the Bucks reportedly flirted with trading their homegrown star. They’ve made strides in the past month, improving to 26-33 and sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, just outside the Play-In Tournament. The Bucks host the Celtics on Monday. Tipoff is at 6:30 p.m.
