To quiet down those rumors, James L. Edwards of The Athletic noted that Antetokounmpo is expected to start the season with the Bucks. At the very least, this is finally a step in the rumors dying down.

There's only one reporter around the NBA who continues to suggest that Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo could be on his way out sometime in the near future. That's none other than Shams Charania of ESPN.

During the 2024-25 NBA season, Antetokounmpo once again dominated the rest of the league. He played in 67 games, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game, while also shooting 60.1 percent from the floor.
