On Wednesday, the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade saga appeared ready to launch.
After an offseason of rumors about the Greek superstar’s status in Milwaukee, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Antetokounmpo and his representatives would be meeting with the Bucks’ front office to explore whether a trade is in everybody’s best interests. Then the two-time MVP went down with a calf strain in the team’s win over the Pistons that night and everything is now in a holding pattern; it’s likely the topic of a trade won’t even be broached until Antetokounmpo is healthy, or at least receives a recovery timeline for his latest injury.
