Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo made a strong comeback, scoring 29 points.

The Milwaukee Bucks received crucial good news at a turbulent juncture in the season: star player Giannis Antetokounmpo officially returned to the court and delivered an efficient performance that injected much-needed confidence and direction into the team.

In Saturday's away game against the Chicago Bulls, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 29 points in less than 25 minutes, helping the Bucks to a 112-103 victory and temporarily halting their recent downward trend.

During Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence, the Bucks' record plummeted to 12 wins and 19 losses, one of the worst performances of the team during his tenure. Due to groin and right calf injuries, he missed 14 of 31 games, and the team went 3-11 when he was off the court, lacking consistency and a core player on both ends of the court.

In his comeback game, Giannis Antetokounmpo not only put up efficient numbers with 10-for-15 shooting and 8-for-10 free throws, achieving a plus-minus of +13, but more importantly, he quickly changed the team's playing style. Whether it was his explosiveness in transition offense or his rim protection and rebounding control on the defensive end, his presence helped the Bucks regain their rhythm.

Head coach Doc Rivers stated after the game that the team maximized Antetokounmpo's impact while strictly limiting his playing time. "His return is not just about scoring, it's about confidence," Rivers emphasized, adding that having such a key player on the court makes it easier for the team to make the right decisions in crucial moments.

This was also reflected in the performance of his teammates. Benefiting from the "gravity effect" of Antetokounmpo drawing defenders, Bucks players gained more open looks, and their offensive flow improved significantly. Teammates generally stated that his return made the entire team more confident on the court.

Although the Bucks still need time to heal from the injuries sustained at the beginning of the season, with Giannis Antetokounmpo back on the roster, the team is at least back on the right track.
