Fans are monitoring the creaky situation of the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo as talks about a possible trade continue to heat up heading into next month’s NBA Draft.

Multiple teams are reportedly planning to pursue Antetokounmpo, including the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors, the Boston Celtics, the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Orlando Magic, among others.

In the meantime, Antetokounmpo is making the most out of his summer. He attended the Champions League Final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in Hungary on Saturday.

The 31-year-old Antetokounmpo even played football at Puskas Arena, showing off his skills in an exhibition match. He had several chances at goal, using his size advantage, as he dwarfed everybody on the pitch.

Antetokounmpo grew up playing football and wanted to be a professional player like his father.

The Bucks probably had cold sweats after seeing the 1o-time All-Star running around and being competitive since he could have hurt himself, which might jeopardize the likelihood of a trade.

The two-time MVP was limited to a career-low 36 games this season due to various injuries. He averaged 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists. The Bucks missed the playoffs after a 32-50 record, ending a nine-year appearance streak.

Antetokounmpo wanted to suit up in the final stretch of the campaign, stressing that he felt good. Milwaukee, however, shut him down, causing more tension in an already fraught situation between the two sides.

Antetokounmpo clapped back at a fan on X for calling him out for playing football amid a possible trade.

“Just because people in my position take things for granted, why should I? I enjoy playing!” commented the former Finals MVP.

The Bucks have stated that they are willing to listen to any offer for Antetokounmpo.
