Giannis Trade Speculation Grows Amid Bucks' Uncertainty

Speculation about Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks has grown after the team's third straight first-round playoff exit. Head coach Doc Rivers has stated he communicates regularly with Antetokounmpo but has not addressed the trade rumors directly. Antetokounmpo himself has remained silent on his intentions, even as speculation connects him with teams like the San Antonio Spurs. The Bucks' situation is further complicated by Damian Lillard’s Achilles injury, which impacts both the team's outlook and salary cap flexibility. If Antetokounmpo seeks a trade, he is expected to draw strong league-wide interest. Both Rivers and Antetokounmpo are withholding public comment as the Bucks enter a critical offseason.
