QUOTABLE

Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo: "It felt good. I think everything I felt out there is understandable. To be able to feel a little bit rusty? Yes. Not having my weight? Yes. Feeling uncomfortable? Yes. But, yeah, it doesn't really matter."

"When I was available, when I was able to make plays for my teammates, I did. When I saw the ball going in, I felt good. When I was able to make, as I said, plays for my teammates and they were making plays, it felt good just being around my teammates and being out there with him."
