Overview

  • Brian Windhorst said Giannis agrees with Stephen A. Smith’s description of himself as an “underachiever” if he fails to secure a second championship.
  • Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists on 60.1% shooting during the 2024-25 season before the Bucks fell to the Pacers in the first playoff round.
  • GM Jon Horst and Doc Rivers have discussed retooling the roster to give Giannis more on-ball opportunities and make him the focal point of Milwaukee’s offense.
  • During the NBA Draft Lottery and Combine Week Giannis explored options beyond Milwaukee but sources say he will remain with the Bucks for the 2025-26 season.
  • Trade discussions have cooled as multiple teams accept his return, allowing Milwaukee to prioritize adding complementary backcourt and frontcourt depth.
