Giannis Antetokounmpo is feeling good after leading his team to a win on Christmas in his first game back from a bout with COVID.
The Milwaukee Bucks All-Star scored a game-high 36 points in a comeback victory over the Boston Celtics. After the game, Antetokounmpo spoke on missing over a week of action after testing positive for COVID. He said that he did experience symptoms but did not lose his sense of taste or smell.
“I got too big of a nose,” joked Antetokounmpo, per Eric Nehm of ESPN. “I can smell everything.”
Antetokounmpo entered health and safety protocols on Dec. 15 and missed five games. The Bucks went 3-2 in his absence and remain third in the East.
We know that the two-time MVP Antetokounmpo is a real jokester. Even his recent bout with illness could not affect Antetokounmpo’s sense of humor.
