MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo returned after missing six games with a calf strain and scored 23 points as the Milwaukee Bucks rallied for a 116-110 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Antetokounmpo was on a minutes restriction and played just under 24 minutes. He left for good with 6:27 remaining as the Bucks trailed 101-96. Milwaukee then completed its comeback from a 13-point, fourth-quarter deficit with Antetokounmpo on the bench. Kawhi Leonard had 25 points, James Harden added 24 and Ivica Zubac had 20 points and 15 rebounds for the Clippers.

 

The NBA has suspended Milwaukee forward Bobby Portis Jr. for 25 games without pay because he tested positive for the painkiller Tramadol, a violation of the league’s anti-drug program. Portis cannot play again until April 8 — the 79th game of Milwaukee’s 82-game schedule — at the earliest. His suspension starts with the Bucks’ game Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Portis says “I made an honest mistake and took a pain-reducing anti-inflammatory pill that is not approved.” Portis is averaging 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds for the Bucks this season, playing mostly off the bench.
