Antetokounmpo delivers Adou Thiero’s debut keepsake

Giannis Antetokounmpo went full MVP of kindness, securing the game ball for Lakers rookie Adou Thiero after his long-awaited debut against Milwaukee. JJ Redick’s squad was shorthanded, but Thiero showed flashes of his athleticism — and yes, Giannis basically played Santa in sneakers.

Thiero thanked teammates for their efforts and said the moment showed how connected the Lakers are. Healthy at last, the rookie forward’s future looks promising.
