Giannis (wrist) cleared to play for Heat vs. Jazz
There was sudden skepticism about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s availability when the Miami Heat suddenly made his status questionable an hour before the Tuesday game. In the end, the two-time MVP is cleared to play and is ready to lead the team again.
Giannis has been nursing a right wrist sprain in the Heat’s past couple of games. Amid the big man maintaining his active status, Miami can only also be cautious about the hand condition of Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists across 10 appearances so far for the Heat this season.
Now holding a 4-6 record, he and the Heat will look to secure a key victory in Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz before finally heading back to South Beach.
