Milwaukee BucksGiannis Antetokounmpo
The Milwaukee Bucks have at least one thing settled regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The NBA has concluded its investigation into the team’s contentious shutdown of the former MVP and has determined no further action is warranted, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The development comes with Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee as cloudy as ever. The Bucks are reportedly listening to trade offers in the leadup to the 2026 NBA Draft and co-owner Jimmy Haslam is openly admitting the star may no longer be on the team at the star of next season.
Antetokounmpo doesn’t know either.
The Greek Freak’s relationship with the team has suffered in recent months. That was evident when Antetokounmpo publicly railed against the team’s decision to shut him down for the remainder of the season in March, which then-head coach Doc Rivers insisted was due to health reasons.
The National Basketball Players Association didn’t believe that was true and . Antetokounmpo insisted he was healthy, though the league later revealed he had declined to participate in a three-on-three scrimmage in the previous week.
