News of the Bucks and Antetokounmpo’s deteriorating relationship has led to a swirl of trade rumors.

Giannis shared a photo of Denzel Washington from the 2001 movie “Training Day.”

The image has been widely used as a meme in recent years. Antetokounmpo shared it without any text, leading to much speculation about its meaning. Any team would be willing to take on the two-time MVP, who is averaging 28.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game this season, shooting 63.9%.

Apart from his situation with the Bucks, Giannis has also had to deal with his wife and four children's permanent relocation to Athens, Greece, ahead of the 2025-26 season. While his family resides in a multi-story private residence in Paleo Psychiko, he remains in Milwaukee.

As things stand, Giannis Antetokounmpo may be playing for a new team ahead of the trade deadline. He is dealing with a calf injury and could be out for up to four weeks.

The Bucks (10-15) are 11th in the East and are on a two-game losing streak. The team will return to the court on Thursday to face the Boston Celtics. Milwaukee will look toward Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins to lead the charge as their star forward recovers.
