Wed Apr 09 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Bucks Rally From 24-Point Deficit, Led by Antetokounmpo’s Triple-Double

**Milwaukee, WI** – Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the court Tuesday night for the Milwaukee Bucks, shaking off a left shoulder injury to lead his team to a thrilling 110-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The two-time MVP recorded a triple-double with 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists, spearheading an incredible comeback from a 24-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Antetokounmpo, who missed Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to tendinopathy in his left shoulder, was listed as probable before the game. His performance further solidified his position as one of the league’s top players; he currently ranks second in the NBA in scoring (30.5 points per game) and sixth in rebounding (11.9 rebounds per game).

The game also marked the return of forward Bobby Portis, who completed a 25-game suspension for a positive test for the painkiller tramadol. Bucks coach Doc Rivers commented on Portis’ emotional journey following the suspension, noting that it took time for Portis to overcome feeling unfairly labeled as a cheater. Rivers credited team support, including card games on team flights, with helping Portis regain his spirits and return to his usual form. The coach emphasized the importance of the team’s unity in supporting Portis through a difficult period.
