Overview

  • Bobby Portis told FanDuel TV’s Run It Back he is at a “five” out of 10 on Giannis Antetokounmpo returning to Milwaukee next season, calling the situation “up in the air.”
  • Antetokounmpo has managed a right calf strain, returning March 2 for three games before being held out for the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday.
  • He has missed 30 games this season, the most single-season absences of his career.
  • Milwaukee is 27-36 and 11th in the East, four games behind the Hornets for the final play-in spot with 19 games remaining, after a blowout home loss to the Magic without Giannis.
  • The Bucks kept Antetokounmpo past the February trade deadline, and ESPN has reported both sides are expected to reexamine a potential deal in the offseason.
