Giannis leads the Bucks to a 120-113 victory over the Heat, showcasing his return to form.

Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the court in style, leading the Milwaukee Bucks to a 120-113 victory over the Miami Heat on February 23, 2025, at Fiserv Forum. After missing five games due to a left calf strain, the Greek superstar showcased his skills with 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists in just 32 minutes of play, shooting an impressive 11-of-18 from the field.

Despite being under a minutes restriction set by coach Doc Rivers, Antetokounmpo exceeded his limit by 55 seconds, playfully commenting on the situation post-game. He expressed his desire to return to full minutes, stating, "I don’t like playing with a minutes restriction."

Damian Lillard also contributed significantly to the win, scoring a team-high 28 points and providing 8 assists in 38 minutes, showcasing his resilience after a recent hamstring injury. The victory improved the Bucks` record to 32-24, placing them fifth in the Eastern Conference standings. With the team currently on a four-game winning streak, they are gearing up for a strong postseason run, aiming to keep Antetokounmpo healthy and in top form.
