The Milwaukee Bucks' superstar forward is reportedly cleared to play again after the effects of a concussion sidelined him for Monday's game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo practiced on Wednesday and is reportedly set to play on Thursday in Boston, according to The Athletic's Eric Nehm.

Antetokounmpo took a blow to the head on Saturday. Initial tests showed no neurological damage or symptoms of a concussion, so he continued to play.

However, he felt more symptoms on Sunday and Monday, and the team pulled him out of Monday night's game against Toronto.

Without him, the Bucks still won the game and remain the NBA's only undefeated team.
