Bournemouth reach agreement to appoint Rose as Iraola successor
Bournemouth has reached an agreement to appoint Marco Rose as their new head coach, succeeding Andoni Iraola.
Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed uncertainty about his future with the Milwaukee Bucks, stating, 'It's not up to me anymore.' His season ended due to a knee injury, and he is unsure if he has played his last game for the team.
PHILADELPHIA ā Giannis Antetokounmpoās 13th season with the Milwaukee Bucks ended informally on March 15, after he suffered a hyperextension and bone bruise in his left knee after landing awkwardly following a dunk. He did not play again, despite his belief he was healthy enough to do so, and a league investigation into the Bucks' handling of the situation.
And on April 12, the official end of the 2025-26 season, in the visiting locker room at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Antetokounmpo wasnāt sure if that was his last game ever for the only franchise heās ever known.
āI don't know, it's not up to me anymore,ā he said. āIt's not up to me. We'll see."
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) is seen on the sidelines during the second half of the game against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday April 10, 2026 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Antetokounmpo, 31, is under contract for the 2026-27 season and holds a player option for 2027-28. But, the two-time league Most Valuable Player was the subject of trade speculation since last May, and that will once again pick up now that the Bucks' season is over.
Antetokounmpo is extension-eligible, but not until Oct. 1. And Bucks co-owner and governor Wes Edens told ESPN that the superstar will either sign the extension or be traded ā but no one in the organization has clarified if Antetokounmpo will still be on the roster in order to make that choice.
For his part, Antetokounmpo said that if heās on the team in October and is offered that choice, he wouldnāt necessarily walk away from a new four-year, $275 million deal.
āTo sign? A contract? No,ā he said. āBut, weāll see when we get there. Until we get to October itās eight months, seven months. Itās a long time. But somebody has to offer you that for you to sign. I havenāt been offered an extension. So if that is on the table, then I will try to make the best decision for me and family. But if itās not on the table, then I have to focus on like how can I prove my worth and get on the floor and do what I do.ā
In an interview just before the end of the season, Bucks GM Jon Horst insisted the team had yet to come to a decision on its path.
āThe truth is I donāt know,ā he said. āWe donāt know what weāre going to do today [April 7]. And we donāt have to. What I do think we have to do is be very honest, very direct, make a big assessment. We learned a lot this year. Itās a pretty great opportunity. Of course, Iād rather be in the playoffs and be planning for whoever weāre going to play, but weāre not. So what can we learn from it and figure out how we do we get to where we want to get as quick as we can.ā
In order to get to that point, however, Antetokounmpo and the Bucks ownership group (which includes co-owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam) and Horst must figure out if theyāre actually going to arrive there together.
āIām very big on communication,ā Antetokounmpo said. āIām very big on communication. I think this is why Iām able to have a happy marriage, you know? Iāve been 10 years with my wife [Mariah]. Ten years with my wife, married one and a half and I think we have an incredible family, we love one another and we support one another and the reason that is, is because we communicate with one another. This is why we so tight. We always say the truth and we never argue. Even when we argue we try to figure out a way for us to move on forward and try to find a solution that for that specific moment.
āYou donāt let things linger. Iām very big on communication. Iāve always been open. But, I donāt know if that; it gotta go both ways. It has to go both ways. It cannot go one way.ā
The Bucks will conduct exit interviews on April 13 in Milwaukee, and the offseason begins in earnest.
The next key date for the franchise is May 10, when the NBA will hold its annual draft lottery. The Bucks will likely get a top 10 pick for the first time since 2016, although they do not ācontrolā their ultimate selection slot. Should the Bucks jump over New Orleans in the lottery slotting, the Pelicans will swap spots a part of the 2020 Jrue Holiday trade.
The draft is in late June, followed by free agency.
As for how far the Bucks are away from contention, Doc Rivers said after the game against Philadelphia it depends on whether the team keeps Antetokounmpo or rebuilds. Antetokounmpo pointed out that the team won the second-fewest games [32] in his tenure, so it would appear they have a long way to go.
āWhether you have an actual commitment and you offer an actual extension, itās way more about sentimentality and alignment and togetherness and path,ā Horst said. āYou either have an alignment and an understanding and not commitment necessarily, but a path forward together that you understand and you go execute it. You could call that an extension or you try to figure out the best win-win that you possibly can moving forward via a trade.
āItās not actually the only two doors, right? Thereās door No. 3 that actually exists, but thatās just a level set, non-emotional reality of where itās at on October 1. And Iām not saying that you do something beforehand. Iām just saying you do have to understand where you want to go, but we donāt have to know that today.ā
