Oddly enough, one of the most underrated players in today's NBA is a two-time MVP. Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is hardly recognized for all he does, but he is undoubtedly a top-three player in the league right now and should go down as one of the best to ever play the game.

Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 2.1 stocks per game this season while shooting 60.8% from the field. His unbelievable performances have led the Bucks into fifth place in the East at the All-Star break with a 29-24 record.

The Bucks' first test after the All-Star break comes against the LA Clippers, one of the more impressive teams in the Western Conference. The Clippers are 31-23, led by a star trio of James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Norman Powell.

After missing the last six games leading up to the All-Star break and missing the All-Star Game entirely due to injury, Antetokounmpo has received an injury update ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Clippers.

Antetokounmpo participated in the Bucks' first practice after the All-Star break, gearing up for a possible return to the court on Thursday.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers told reporters that everybody, including Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, practiced for the Bucks today in their first practice after the All-Star Break.

NBA fans have taken to social media to react to Antetokounmpo's updated status, hoping to see the superstar forward back in action.

"That’s what I’m talking about!!" one fan said.

"The Greek Freak is gearing up for his return!" another fan said.

"GIANNIS IS BACK ON THE COURT!" a fan replied.

If Antetokounmpo is good to go for Friday's matchup with the Clippers, it would make for an exciting cross-conference meeting in Milwaukee.
