Good news for the Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong>, as Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/strong> rejoined practice after missing the first few days of training camp while recovering from COVID-19<\/strong> in Greece.<\/p>\n

The two-time MVP<\/strong> participated only in non-contact drills, coach Doc Rivers<\/strong> confirmed, adding that Giannis will need \u201cabout three days\u201d to be fully ready. \u201cI\u2019m not 100 percent yet physically,\u201d Antetokounmpo said. \u201cBut I\u2019m getting better day by day. I\u2019ve got 18 days until the first game, so I think I\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivers also noted that the temporary absence of the team\u2019s superstar could have a silver lining: \u201cThe key for us every year is the minutes when Giannis is off the floor. Working without him helps us prepare for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
