Milwaukee Bucks two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols and could play Christmas Day against the Boston Celtics, per ESPN’s Zack Lowe.

Antetokounmpo, the reigning NBA Finals MVP, planned to get on the court Friday for a workout. He is expected to make a decision on Saturday’s game prior to the tip-off, according to the same report.

The Greek Freak has entered the protocols and was unable to work out since Dec. 14. If he decides to play, he will do it after just one practice.

Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 27.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game this season, has missed the Bucks‘ past five games.
