For the third time in four games, the Milwaukee Bucks endured a blowout defeat when they suffered a 122-102 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.
Following the contest, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo offered some comments on the current state of the Bucks that likely won’t silence trade rumors regarding his future.
Giannis Antetokounmpo says Bucks aren’t “playing to win”
Wednesday’s result dropped the 11th-place Bucks to 18-25 on the season. It was the third time since Jan. 13 that Milwaukee had lost a game by at least 18 points.
Antetokounmpo was the subject of constant trade rumors even before it was reported that he requested a move from the Bucks before the ongoing campaign got underway. While he recently said that he will “never” demand a trade and is “invested” in helping the Bucks turn things around, some within the NBA community seem to believe the two-time MVP could have a new basketball home before the Feb. 5 trade deadline arrives.
As recently as Wednesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic shared that the New York Knicks “were and will continue to be interested in” Antetokounmpo.
Giannis Antetokounmpo thinks others may want to “carry” the Bucks this winter?
In Wednesday’s loss, Antetokounmpo attempted just 11 field goals. He finished the contest with 19 points.
Antetokounmpo will look to make more of an offensive impact when the Bucks host the Denver Nuggets (29-15) on Friday night.
