The Milwaukee Bucks are growing optimistic about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s availability in Game 5 of the series vs. the Miami Heat, per Sham Charania.

The Bucks are down 3-1 and they will need Giannis in MVP form to win a second consecutive game in the EC semifinals against Miami.

Antetokounmpo sprained his ankle again in the first half of Game 4 on Sunday. The reigning MVP had 19 points in just 11 minutes before aggravating his ankle injury. He suffered an ankle sprain during Game 3 of the series.

According to Shams Charania, the Bucks’ superstar is said to be feeling similar to how it did prior to Game 4. This means that Antetokounmpo could suit up ahead of another win-or-go-home game for the Milwaukee Bucks.
