Alec NathanMar 25, 2018

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will return from a one-game absence Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs, the team announced.

Antetokounmpo didn't travel with the Bucks for Friday's win over the Chicago Bulls because of a right ankle injury. The Greek Freak underwent a precautionary MRI, and the scan revealed only minor swelling in the joint, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Matt Velazquez.

The Bucks enter Sunday's tilt against the Spurs as the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference at 38-34 overall.
