Giannis Antetokounmpo: I could play more

Reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 21 points with 16 rebounds and 9 assists, but he struggled down the stretch against a tough Miami defense, going 7-for-21 from the field with three turnovers in 34 minutes, 54 seconds. Despite tweaking his right ankle in the opening quarter, and seemingly grimacing throughout the contest on certain plays, Antetokounmpo said he felt “great” and that “it wasn’t bothering me at all.” “I feel great,” Antetokounmpo said. “I could play more.”
