NBA finds certain facts are 'dispute' in spat between Bucks, Giannis

The saga between Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks took another turn on April 4 when an NBA spokesperson told the Journal Sentinel, “certain facts remain in dispute. ” According to the league, its investigation determined that the Bucks scheduled Antetokounmpo to go through a three-on-three scrimmage the week of March 23 but Antetokounmpo declined to participate. There is an ongoing disagreement between the parties over whether the team asked Antetokounmpo to participate in a group workout the week of March 30.

When he spoke publicly for the first time about his situation on April 3 , Antetokounmpo said he welcomed an investigation into his availability and said, in part, “You guys have seen me warming up. You guys see me working out. I've played.

I've played with the team. I've played one-on-one. I've practiced.

I've done pretty much everything. ” Antetokounmpo, along with several members of the organization, were interviewed by the league the week of March 30. This followed a statement from the National Basketball Players Association on March 24 that the league enforce its player participation policy and a statement from NBA commissioner Adam Silver that the league would look into the matter.
