Overview
- Chris Haynes reports Giannis told him he wants to “run through the wall” to make things work and that recent social media deletions were about privacy and branding, not a trade push.
- Shams Charania reports Giannis and agent Alex Saratsis have opened formal conversations with the Bucks about his future, and he has not requested a trade.
- Giannis is sidelined with a right calf strain and is expected to miss roughly two to four weeks.
- Milwaukee’s options to retool are constrained by poor recent form, limited draft control for years and cap pressures after using the stretch provision on Damian Lillard.
- Speculation continues to link multiple suitors—most often the Knicks, with scenarios also floated for the Warriors, Thunder, Rockets and Cavaliers—though proposals remain hypothetical without a trade request.
