Overview
- Chris Haynes reported Antetokounmpo told him he prefers to "run through the wall" to fix the situation in Milwaukee rather than seek a move.
- Haynes said the deletions occurred three to four weeks ago and included personal and Bucks content, which Antetokounmpo characterized as image management.
- Shams Charania reported ongoing discussions between Antetokounmpo, his agent, and the Bucks about whether his best fit is to stay or go elsewhere, and there has been no public trade request.
- Reporting indicates his camp vetted options in the offseason, with the Knicks identified as the lone preferred alternative and summer talks reportedly getting close to materializing.
- The Bucks have fallen to 10–14 after losing nine of 11 and face limited flexibility after stretching Damian Lillard to sign Myles Turner and lacking control of a first-round pick until 2031, as Antetokounmpo recovers from a right calf strain for 2–4 weeks.
