The Bucks' Donte Divincentzo Savos returned to the game after a long absence

Milwaukee Bucks guard Dont DiVincentzo had a Christmas comeback in his mind as he recovered from an ankle injury that prevented him from participating in most of last season's championship journey with his teammates.

In mid-December, he was on track to make his season debut before the NBA's COVID-19 deal took him out of the game. Divitzzo finally made a comeback in his Christmas win over the Boston Celtics, and he's ready to do whatever it takes to help the Bucks defend their title.

In Saturday's 117-113 win, Di Vincenzo scored three points and played 16 minutes, but as the season progresses, he is expected to play a bigger role. The 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard started all 66 regular season games he played in last year, averaging 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game and shooting 37.9 percent from three-point range.

Di Vincenzo played for two national championship teams in Villanova and was named the most outstanding player in the 2018 Final Four. He would love to help Milwaukee win the title for the second consecutive time.
