"Could Giannis Antetokounmpo finally be on his way out of Milwaukee? ESPN's Shams Charania reported Wednesday that the Bucks are engaging with teams on possible deals for the two-time NBA's Most Valuable Player, opening the door to the possibility that Antetokounmpo -- currently sidelined with a calf strain -- has played the final game of his Hall of Fame career with the team that drafted him in 2013."
"Antetokounmpo's frustration has been building all season long. He began the 2025-26 season willing to give Milwaukee a chance to build a competitive team around him. But as the Bucks have descended down the Eastern Conference standings, Antetokounmpo has grown more forceful in his critiques. A week ago, he called out his teammates as "not playing hard, not playing to win, not playing together" while adding that "the chemistry is off and guys are being selfish.""
The Bucks are engaging with teams on potential trades for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is sidelined with a calf strain and may have played his last game with Milwaukee. After a 139-122 loss in Philadelphia, Milwaukee sits tied for 11th in the Eastern Conference and trails the Hawks by 3.5 games for the final play-in spot. The loss left the Bucks tied for seventh in the Draft Lottery, and a 3-12 record without Antetokounmpo increases draft upside in a strong 2026 class. Antetokounmpo's frustration has grown as he criticized teammates, saying they are 'not playing hard, not playing to win, not playing together' and that 'the chemistry is off and guys are being selfish.'
