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.

Antetokounmpo recorded 28 points (9-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 129-103 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Antetokounmpo recorded a game-high 28 points, marking his lowest-scoring outing of the first round. The superstar did make a series-high 10 free throws, but he shot less than 50 percent from the field for the first time in the playoffs. The 30-year-old forward has averaged 33.8 points, 14.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks across 36.0 minutes per game during the first round. However, the Bucks still face a 3-1 series deficit and will look to stay alive in Game 5 in Indiana on Tuesday.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Massive stat line in win Friday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo registered 37 points (14-19 FG, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 117-101 win over Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Bucks needed Antetokounmpo to be at his best in this game, with Milwaukee being down two games in the series, and the star forward delivered another impressive stat line. He's now scored at least 34 points while grabbing at least 12 rebounds in the three games of the series. The Bucks will need the star forward to deliver a similar stat line in Game 4 if Milwaukee aims to even the series, particularly if Damian Lillard continues to struggle as much as he's done over the last two games.
