Giannis Antetokounmpo News
According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, the Knicks are watching the situation between the Bucks and forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. "The New York Knicks, for example, they have got 97 percent of their attention on the Miami Heat and three percent of their attention on Milwaukee," reported Windhorst on an episode of ESPN's First Take. Many factors could play into the multi-time MVP's desire to remain in Milwaukee, including the future of Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez, who will be free agents. The Bucks also recently fired head coach Mike Budenholzer, who led the team to an NBA Championship in 2021. Nevertheless, Antetokounmpo is up for a contract extension in September. However, it would be very surprising if he signs unless the front office demonstrates a commitment to winning another title.
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) is officially listed as probable for Game 5 against the Miami Heat Wednesday. Antetokounmpo seems to have gotten through his first game back unscathed despite playing 43 minutes. There were report Antetokounmpo had to receive IV fluids after the game and this is a situation to monitor heading into Wednesday. If Antetokounmpo sees his workload reduced, Bobby Portis would likely play an additional amount of minutes.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had an outstanding comeback game in Monday's meeting with Miami, posting his third playoff triple-double with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. After struggling with back pain and playing only 11 minutes in the series, Giannis logged a 38-minute night at the office, shooting 11-for-22 from the field and finishing off his line with one steal and two blocks. Unfortunately for him and the team, Antetokounmpo's big performance came in a losing effort, meaning the team faces elimination the next time it takes the court on Wednesday. Antetokounmpo hasn't suffered a first-round exit since 2019 and it's safe to assume that he will be willing to do whatever it takes to extend the series.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) is expected to return to the court for Monday's Game 4 against the Miami Heat. The Bucks are in a tough spot, but it appears Antetokounmpo is on the verge of returning. The superstar forward has been banged up throughout the series, but the Bucks need this help to avoid going down 3-1 in the series. His return would mean Bobby Portis would head back to the bench. Portis wouldn't be as appealing of a streaming option with Antetokounmpo back in the lineup.
