Antetokounmpo has been sidelined for the past few weeks after straining his right calf for the second time this season. “I feel like the break doesn’t help, because now I gotta get on the court, I gotta play some 1-on-1, 3-on-3, 5 vs. 5,” he said. It does appear that he plans on playing again this season.

Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Giannis Antetokounmpo is “close” to returning.

What could have been a league-changing trade has come to nothing. Despite several teams pursing Giannis, the Bucks thought that the packages simply weren’t enough. Giannis will now remain on the Bucks tumultuous roster, and rumors are he could be shut down as well for the rest of the season now that he has been retained.

The Milwaukee Bucks are starting to listen to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
