Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)
May 2025

While the Bucks have a few free agency tools and draft options, roster-building flexibility is minimal. Internal meetings with Giannis’ camp are expected this summer.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 9 of his 25 points in the fourth, while OKC’s bench, led by Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins, sparked an 11-0 rally. Denver’s late miscues, including a five-second violation, proved costly.
