The NBA offseason was full of rumors circulating that Giannis Antetokounmpo would be traded from the Bucks before the 2025-26 season began. Nothing came to fruition, and the two-time MVP remained in Milwaukee for the start of the new season.
However, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst revealed on Wednesday that some rumors had a bit of truth within them. Antetokounmpo reportedly asked to be traded in the offseason, specifically in regards to his interest in playing for the Knicks, which ESPN’s Shams Charania reported in October.
