NEW YORK — Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> returned to the lineup for the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> in an NBA Cup game against the New York Knicks<\/a> on Friday night after missing four games because of a groin strain.<\/p>\n Antetokounmpo strained his left groin during Milwaukee’s 118-106 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> on Nov. 17. A day later, Bucks coach Doc Rivers said the two-time MVP would likely miss two weeks.<\/p>\n Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists. He scored 14 points in 13 minutes before getting injured.<\/p>\n The Bucks are 0-5 this season when Antetokounmpo does not play.
