Bucks players return home for Christmas.
"Great to be back out there with my teammates and get the win #MerryChristmas," tweeted Giannis Antekounmpo.
Donte DiVincenzo recently came off the bench for the Milwaukee Bucks after months of setbacks due to ankle surgery and COVID-19 protocols. He played in the Christmas Day victory over the Celtics.
"I targeted December the whole time and I just stuck by that. Because for me, as a competitor, as a player, you want to have something to work toward. I didn't want to just kind of go in every day and just start doing rehab. I had this mindset I'm coming back in December. And ironically, in my head, I was saying Christmas," DiVincenzo said.
DiVincenzo said he felt a little rusty in the game but was thrilled to be back on the court, playing 16 minutes and scoring three points.
"You don't think 10 days go by and you're going to kind of lose feel and lose touch to it, but I'm telling you, you're such a creature of habit and routine, when you don't have that every day, it messes you up for a little while," DiVincenzo said.
Now the questions are swirling on whether he might be traded or not since his previous position in the Bucks's top five is arguably filled in already due to his absence.
