Giannis Antetokounmpo will return for the Milwaukee Bucks against the Miami Heat in game four of the NBA playoffs.
The Bucks star missed the second and third games for his team with a lower back contusion but according to The Athletic, Antetokounmpo will be back in the fold for his team on Monday night.
Antetokounmpo took part in the morning shootaround in Miami and is expected to be in the lineup, barring any setbacks, per the report. He did not practice Sunday but was able to do individual work.
The Bucks currently trail the series 2-1, winning one and losing another without their star man after defeat in game one.
Antetokounmpo came down hard on his backside after being fouled by Miami’s Kevin Love in the first quarter of the opening game.

He played 11 minutes before having to go off hurt and his exit dimmed the atmosphere in Milwaukee. The Heat took advantage with a surprise 130-117 victory.
Since then, the 28-year-old Antetokounmpo has had to watch from the sidelines.
Milwaukee tied the series at 1-1 with a resounding 138-122 win last Wednesday. On Saturday, Miami destroyed the Bucks in its first home game, 121-99, behind Jimmy Butler’s 30 points.
Monday’s game is once again in Miami, with Game 5 back in Milwaukee on Wednesday evening.
This time, there will be a big difference — a six-feet-eleven sized one to be specific.
