Overview

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo has reiterated he is not requesting a trade as he focuses on his rehab.
  • Milwaukee is 17-23 after a 139-106 home loss that drew boos, which Antetokounmpo downplayed as he emphasized staying on task.
  • ESPN’s Bobby Marks identifies Kyle Kuzma as the likeliest movable salary, citing his $22.4 million cap hit this season and the Bucks’ top-heavy payroll.
  • ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel says a package including Bobby Portis, Kuzma and Milwaukee’s 2031 first-round pick could appeal to teams, noting league interest in Portis.
  • Siegel also reports the Warriors could keep Jonathan Kuminga past the deadline with an eye on using him in a possible offseason pursuit of Antetokounmpo.
