Everything Giannis Antetokounmpo has said about his future in Milwaukee: A timeline

The last couple of seasons in Milwaukee have been rough, to say the least, as the Bucks have faced a plethora of injuries, the big names they have acquired - namely, Damian Lillard and Myles Turner - haven't panned out, and the Doc Rivers hire didn't quite go to plan, either. Naturally, that has led to a major rise in speculation regarding team superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future in Milwaukee. There's been a lot of back and forth in reporting about Antetokounmpo's plans.

At times in 2025-26, it seemed like the two-time league MVP would be asking out of Milwaukee, only for Antetokounmpo to reaffirm his commitment to the Bucks, publicly, too, through his social media accounts: “I’m not f*cking leaving! The show goes on! This is my home!

They’re gonna need a f*cking wrecking ball to take me out of here! ” Giannis Antetokounmpo posts this iconic ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ clip after not being traded from the Bucks at the trade deadline 🤣 (via @Giannis_An34 ) pic. twitter.
