Overview
- Giannis Antetokounmpo told reporters he has not personally discussed a trade with the Bucks and is focused on rehabbing his calf and supporting teammates.
- Reporting indicates his agent, Alex Saratsis, has held conversations about Giannis’ future, even as the player distances himself from those talks.
- League sources say Milwaukee is fending off inquiries on Giannis and signaling it intends to add help rather than move its star.
- Insider Chris Haynes reports the Bucks have identified Zach LaVine as a potential target, though there have been no serious talks to date.
- Multiple teams, including the Heat, Knicks, Warriors and Lakers, are keeping tabs, while others like the Spurs and Thunder are viewed as unlikely bidders; Giannis remains sidelined and the 11–17 Bucks have struggled, with Doc Rivers suggesting a roughly four-week timeline to return.
