Overview
- Giannis met with teammates to urge focus on basketball and said he "can't control" whether he stays or is traded, per Chris Haynes.
- He and agent Alex Saratsis are in active discussions with Milwaukee about his long‑term fit, according to reporting from Shams Charania.
- Property records confirm he bought a 28‑unit Brooklyn building for $14.1 million on Nov. 18, an investment that was recorded this week and miscast online as a personal move.
- The Bucks are telling clubs he is not available, Marc Stein reports, even as interest coalesces around teams like the Knicks and Heat, with New York facing asset limits and a Mikal Bridges trade restriction until Feb. 1, 2026.
- A right calf strain is expected to sideline him for weeks, complicating timing as outside voices float packages, including Rich Paul pointing to Hawks forward Jalen Johnson and Reggie Miller suggesting a Knicks offer built around Karl‑Anthony Towns and Bridges.
