The Milwaukee Bucks are 13-19 on the season following their victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. That particular contest was significant for the team as it marked the return of nine-time All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo to the floor following an eight-game absence due to a calf strain.

During the two-time NBA MVP’s absence, the Bucks were 2-6.

Now that he is back, and albeit on a minutes restriction, Milwaukee is hopeful that they can turn their season around as they have 50 games remaining. They will look to win consecutive games for the first time this month when they travel to take on the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
