Overview
- Asked on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back to rate his confidence Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a Buck next season, Bobby Portis answered “five,” calling the situation “up in the air.”
- Antetokounmpo recently returned from a right calf strain, then sat the second leg of a back-to-back, and has missed 30 games as Milwaukee sits 27-36 and outside the play-in.
- Milwaukee kept Antetokounmpo through the February deadline, with multiple outlets reporting the sides are expected to revisit trade scenarios in the offseason if needed.
- The Warriors and Lakers are widely cited as potential suitors, with reporting that Golden State pushed hard before the deadline and that Los Angeles is planning an “all-out pursuit.”
- League reporting notes Milwaukee can discuss a max extension that cannot be signed until Oct. 1, and GM Jon Horst holds three first-round picks and tradable salaries to explore upgrades around the draft.
