Doc Rivers: Bucks don't have roster to contend with Giannis Antetokounmpo, 'That puts him in a tough spot'
Milwaukee Bucks legend and broadcaster Marques Johnson is more direct about situation, "It is as toxic as it appears."
Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play in the Milwaukee Bucks' season finale on Sunday. The team has ruled him out due to a knee hyperextension and bone bruise that has sidelined him for nearly a month. Antetokounmpo had hoped to play a game this season with his two brothers.
That ends what may have been Bucks fans' final chance to see Antetokounmpo in a Milwaukee uniform because a split appears all but inevitable this offseason. Current Bucks coach Doc Rivers talked about that on the Dan Patrick Show last week ( hat tip Hoopshype ). "What does Giannis want?.
Oh, boy. Um, I don't know. Uh, and we talk probably more than anyone.
Um, you know, Dan, it's a tough one because he has done such a great job here in Milwaukee, right? And yet he still wants to win a title. And clearly we have to do a better job here with our roster to make that even look like a possibility.
