Miami Heat star Giannis Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a right wrist sprain. On Thursday night, the Heat are set to play the Golden State Warriors on the road following a thrilling 117-116 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. So, is Giannis playing in the second of a back-to-back on Thursday? According to the NBA injury report, the Heat star is available.

Miami has endured an up and down start to the new campaign. Giannis, however, has made a significant impact to begin his Heat career. The 31-year-old is averaging 28.3 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per outing across his first eight games with Miami.

The Heat would obviously love to find more consistency. Still, Antetokounmpo is playing at a high level.

When it comes to the question of if Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing tonight vs. the Warriors, the answer is yes.

The Heat have three total players on the injury report. The other two players are due to G League reasons, though, as Tre Donaldson (G League two-way) and Vladislav Goldin (G League two-way) are both out.
