Giannis Antetokounmpo Reportedly Ready To Leave Bucks
Wow.
The time has come. Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready for leave the Milwaukee Bucks and join a new NBA time, according to an explosive post from ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Antetokounmpo has delivered another dominant performance in the 2025-26 NBA season so far, despite challenges for the Bucks. Through 30 games played before his recent calf injury, Giannis has averaged around 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game, maintaining his status as one of the league’s most productive forces with elite scoring, rebounding, and playmaking.
The season took a tough turn on January 23, when he suffered a right calf strain during a loss to the Denver Nuggets. Giannis self-diagnosed the issue postgame, estimating 4-6 weeks out, confirmed by an MRI the following day.
Coach Doc Rivers later stated no firm timetable exists for his return, leaving his status uncertain as the Bucks hover below .500 and face an uphill battle for playoff positioning.
Overall, Giannis’s career remains exceptional. Drafted 15th overall by Milwaukee in 2013, the two-time MVP has spent his entire NBA tenure with the Bucks, leading them to the 2021 championship, his signature achievement.
He ranks among the all-time greats, uniquely averaging 25+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 1+ blocks, and 1+ steals in multiple seasons. A nine-time All-Star and perennial All-NBA selection, his blend of athleticism, skill, and versatility has defined a generation, even as team struggles and trade speculation swirl amid the current campaign.
