Giannis Antetokounmpo Says Bucks Are Keeping Him Out Against His Wishes
According to The Athletic's Eric Nehm, Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) told reporters before Friday's game against Boston that he's healthy and ready to play, but the team is keeping him out against his wishes. "I'm available to play, but I'm not in the game," Antetokounmpo said. "I'm available to play today. Right now. I'm available. Do I look like I'm not available? ... I don't see myself in the first 12. I don't see myself in the starting lineup. I don't know what game is being played right here, I just don't wanna be a part of it." The NBA is investigating the situation and has reportedly interviewed Antetokounmpo, the Bucks, and team doctors. Antetokounmpo has been out of action with a left knee hyperextension and a bone bruise since March 15. Following Antetokounmpo's explosive comments, it seems his departure from Milwaukee will only be a matter of time this offseason.
