At the rim, where he made 73.6 percent of his shots in his first 24 games this season, Giannis Antetokounmpo has made just 57.4 percent over the last three games, according to stats from Cleaning the Glass. “I’ve gotta be more aggressive,” he said. “I’ve gotta get back in rhythm. I’m not in rhythm right now. Missed a lot of layups. I feel like the illness took a lot, a toll on me. Slowly, slowly, I’m getting back, ramping back to it. It was the first time I was out — not for the duration for the nine days, because I wasn’t for nine days sick — but those four, five days that I was, it took a lot out of my body. “Think about it like a savings account. Now I’m in the minus. So, I’ve gotta keep building. I’ve gotta build my body, gotta get some weights, gotta get some food in me, gotta get some cardio in me to go back to the positive and be able to compete, because I’m digging myself into a hole right now.”
