Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Contemplating future in Milwaukee
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo is "open-minded" about potentially playing elsewhere after 12 seasons with the Bucks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After another first-round exit in the NBA playoffs and Damian Lillard suffering a devastating Achilles injury that will likely keep him sidelined for next season, Antetokounmpo is keeping his options open regarding where his career goes from here on out. The two-time NBA MVP's immediate future will be a hot topic of discussion during the summer, with the Bucks almost certainly getting plenty of trade calls from interested teams around the league. The 29-year-old is coming off another stellar season, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists (career high) and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 60.1 percent from the field.

Antetokounmpo contributed 30 points (9-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-17 FT), 20 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and two steals in 44 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Antetokounmpo recorded his 12th triple-double of the 2024-25 campaign, though it wasn't enough to keep the Bucks' second-round hopes alive. The superstar averaged 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 37.6 minutes per game in the club's first-round series, but Milwaukee was still eliminated in the opening round for the third year in a row. Antetokounmpo is once again a finalist for the MVP award after appearing in 67 regular-season games this year, finishing with averages of 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals across 34.2 minutes per contest.
