Giannis Antetokounmpo Misses Media Day Due to COVID-19
Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) was absent from Monday's media day due to COVID-19, ESPN's Jamal Collier reports. "I'm just waiting for a negative test, so I can leave my house and get on a plane and travel," Antetokounmpo said via Zoom. "I don't want to put anybody at risk." The Bucks start training camp without Antetokounmpo, but this shouldn't impact his readiness for the season too much. Antetokounmpo had a busy summer, helping Greece win bronze at EuroBasket 2025, and he should be in good condition. On Monday, Antetokounmpo confirmed reports that he's open-minded about a move elsewhere. "The same thing I've been saying my whole career, I want to be in a team that allows me and gives me a chance to win a championship," the former MVP said. "I think it's a disservice to basketball, just to the game, to not want it to compete in a high level, to want your season to end in April."
