Overview
- Antetokounmpo told The Athletic his plan is to remain in Milwaukee for his career and said he is “1 million percent” committed to his team and city.
- Milwaukee is 16-21 and 11th in the East, with Giannis noting the Bucks are 4-2 since his return from injuries that cost him 14 games.
- League reporting characterizes the Bucks as focused on adding help rather than entertaining offers for Antetokounmpo unless he asks out, which he says he will not do.
- Analyst predictions portray Milwaukee as a buyer before Feb. 5, including speculative scenarios to acquire scoring help such as a three-team move for Michael Porter Jr.
- Contract timing looms for the offseason, as Giannis can become extension‑eligible in October 2026 and holds a 2027 player option that preserves leverage for both sides.
