The Milwaukee Bucks have reportedly made a decision on their superstar.
Bucks ownership is expected to move on from Giannis Antetokounmpo before the 2026 NBA Draft, according to insider Brett Siegel.
“We have heard from multiple sources, one of which is from a team that was involved in Giannis trade chatter at the trade deadline, that have said the Bucks made up their decision and ownership will be moving on from Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA Draft,” Siegel said on the ClutchPoints podcast.
Antetokounmpo has spent his entire career with the Bucks after being drafted 15th overall in 2013.
But now it seems like his time in Wisconsin is coming to an end.
Since winning a championship with the team in 2020, the Bucks have been unable to reach the Conference Finals.
This year, they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Antetokounmpo has just one more year plus a $62.8 million player option for the 2027-28 season.
Rather than lose him for nothing in free agency, the Bucks have reportedly been shopping him around since the trade deadline.
Milwaukee received many offers before the deadline, but decided to hang on to Antetokounmpo until at least the offseason.
Then last month, Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslem stated that he preferred the team make a decision on Antetokounmpo before the draft, which kicks off on June 23.
Now that the team is seemingly ready to let Antetokounmpo go, one team from the trade deadline sweepstakes has emerged as a favorite to land the two-time NBA MVP.
Various reports have pegged the Miami Heat as the most likely destination for Antetokounmpo.
While the Heat remain in front, other teams, such as the Portland Trail Blazers and Boston Celtics, have been rumored to have interest in Antetokounmpo.
