 | Cannis Antetokounmpo set a career high of 55 points. The Bucks beat the Wizards.30-01-2023 |
Milwaukee star forward Cannis Antetokounmpo set a personal best in one game with 55 points in a 123-113 win over Washington.
Cannis converted 20 of 33 from the field, 0 of 3 from three, 15 of 16 from the free throw line, and had 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 5 turnovers in 36:34 of playing time.
The Bucks leader returned to action, missing Sunday`s 95:118 game against Washington due to pain in his left knee.
Antetokounmpo`s previous career high was 52 points against Philadelphia on March 17, 2019.
Antetokounmpo scored at least 40 points in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. Earlier in the history of the Bucks, only two players managed to do this: Flynn Robinson (February 1969) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (February 1972).
In addition, Cannis became the fourth player in NBA history to score 40+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists in three consecutive games. Previously, only Elgin Baylor (1961, 1963), Wilt Chamberlain (1963) and Russell Westbrook (2016) managed to achieve such indicators.
