Giannis Antetokounmpo sent mixed signals on his future following the Milwaukee Bucks’ season-ending 126-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
On the one hand, the future Hall of Famer stated that he is unsure if he has played his last game with the Bucks, the only team he has ever represented in his 13-year NBA career. However, Antetokounmpo does not rule out accepting another extension in October if one is presented to him.
After coach Doc Rivers, who is leaving the Bucks, concluded his media session, Antetokounmpo answered questions for roughly ten minutes. When asked if he had recently played in a Milwaukee uniform, Antetokounmpo responded as follows:
“That’s a very good question,” “I don’t know. It’s not up to me. We’ll see.”
“I feel like sometimes people just don’t listen,” “They listen to the sources. The main source is me. It is what it is. So again, do not disturb on my phone, go about my day, improve, and come back better.”
Antetokounmpo expressed his dissatisfaction with current season during his media appearance, stating that the Bucks are as far from contention as they have ever been and talking about the lack of contact with the team.
Antetokounmpo, who sustained a bone bruise and left knee hyperextension last month, has also been upset that the team has not cleared him to play despite his assertion that he is fit. The Bucks said he wasn’t physically prepared to participate, despite his desire to play with his two brothers, Thanasis and Alex, who are also on the team.
