Adou Thiero made his NBA debut in Milwaukee for the Lakers after being out for months with a knee injury. Not only did he score the first point of his career at the free throw line, but he also had his first actual basket on a dunk late in the fourth quarter.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 points, 18 assists and seven rebounds in his return and the Bucks outlasted former Milwaukee high school star Kon Knueppel and the Charlotte Hornets 147-134 in overtime Fr

This edition of the Bucks is a bit younger and more offensive-minded. Instead of old teammates Lillard, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez or Jrue Holiday around him, Antetokounmpo is surrounded by fresh helpers such as A.J. Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and Rollins, along with new acquisition Myles Turner at center.

Noticing some postgame confusion at center court, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo intervened by securing the game ball and handing it to the Lakers to present to rookie teammate Adou Thiero.

After missing the first 13 games of the season, Adou Thiero scored his first career points in the NBA on Saturday as the Lakers defeated the Bucks.
