Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will give it a go with his team's season on the line against the Miami Heat on Sunday in Orlando, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Bucks confirmed the report shortly before Game 4.

Antetokounmpo appeared to injure his ankle during Game 3 against the Miami Heat and was initially deemed questionable for Game 4, but Tim Bontemps of ESPN reported Giannis did not appear to have any limitations during warmups:

“Giannis Antetokounmpo just came out to warm up for Game 4,” Bontemps tweeted. “Hard to tell for sure from here, but doesn't seem he has anything extra on his ankle after tweaking it in Game 3, and appears to be moving well on it.”

Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said his star did everything he could so he could be available. While it seems Antetokounmpo will be available for Game 4, it remains to be seen just how much he will play.

The 2018-19 NBA MVP said after Game 3 he would be open to playing more minutes:

However, Budenholzer said during his postgame press conference he felt playing Giannis 35 or 36 minutes would be “pushing the ceiling” for him:

Then again, there is no tomorrow for the Bucks on Sunday. They either begin the massive climb back from a 3-0 deficit, or watch their season come to a close by way of a humiliating sweep.

The Heat have had Giannis Antetokounmpo's number for the entire series. Giannis was limited to just 12 field goal attempts and went 4-for-12 from the free-throw line in Game 1. He scored 29 points and had 14 rebounds in Game 2, but was whistled for a foul on Jimmy Butler at the end of regulation, with Butler draining the free throws to seal the win.

Game 3 was a nightmare for The Greek Freak, who shot just 7-for-21 and missed all seven of his 3-point attempts as Milwaukee collapsed in the fourth quarter.

The Bucks have a long way to go to make this a series again. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo will take the floor as Milwaukee tries to become the first team to win four straight in a series after losing the first three games.
