Bucks’ Giannis upgraded to questionable for Finals Game 1
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been upgraded to questionable for Game 1 of the NBA Finals Tuesday night against the Suns, per the Bucks’ injury report. He was initially ruled doubtful Monday with a knee injury he suffered in the Eastern Conference finals against the Hawks.
Antetokounmpo has continued with constant treatment on his knee hopes to be cleared for Game 1. He is expected to be a game-time decision, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The two-time MVP hasn’t played in a game since June 29 for Game 4 against Atlanta. Then, he landed awkwardly after a block attempt and hyperextended his left knee. It was later revealed that there was no structural damage. However, a timetable for his return was never announced by the Bucks.
During this postseason run, Antetokounmpo leads the team in points (28.2) and rebounds (12.7) per game. He was also named All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive First Team after another stellar regular season.
