I fully expect Antetokounmpo to return to action sooner than later. In fact, if the Bucks lose Game 1, it wouldn’t shock me to see him suit up for Game 2 on Tuesday. – 9:22 PM

“I think if [Giannis] learned to play without the ball more, it would really help him as a player”
Hall of Famer, Charles Barkley, tells JT and EJ what he thinks Giannis can do to improve on the offensive side of the ball.

What a massive victory for the Sixers to lock in the easier round 1 matchup vs. New York instead of Boston. And on this side of the bracket, the Sixers could end up facing Indiana in round 2 with Giannis possibly out.

How is Giannis Antetokounmpo progressing?
Doc Rivers: “He’s doing well. He’s walking around and looks good. I can say he’s farther than we thought he would be, but just not ready yet.”
Still hopeful he can play?
Rivers: “I’m still hopeful, but I just have no idea right now.” – 4:04 PM

More on this storyline
Instead, Antetokounmpo found a company that was willing to accommodate him and his older brother. He was conflicted at first, though, with his loyalty to Adidas still poking at his conscience. But in the end, his desire to make his basketball journey a complete family affair superseded everything else. “When you take me, you take my family, my brother, my mom,” Giannis Antetokounmpo told Nike during its pitch to him. “And she (the representative) was like, ‘Yeah, sure, whatever.’ After that, we’ve been with Nike and she’s been by our side ever since.” -via Clutch Points / April 19, 2024
Nate Jones: They can monitor it all they want. Giannis and Dame are becoming closer and closer by the day. The idea that everyone is giving up on this already is way off. Only thing I wish is that the trade happened early summer, so they could have had time to gel/plan before the season -via Twitter @esidery / April 19, 2024
Extensive plans were made for the future, and eventually the duo and their mother were invited to the Greece headquarters to put pen to paper. But there was only one contract on the table. “He brought the contract and put it in front of me, and I’m like, ‘Okay great, where is my brother’s?’” Giannis said on Thanasis’ podcast, “Thanalysis,” per Bleacher Report’s Andrew Peters. “And he was like ‘We’re not going to sign your brother’s today. You’re going to sign yours and then we’re going to bring your brother in a week to sign his.’ And I was like, ‘Uh uh, no thank you.’” Apparently, Adidas made a terrible miscalculation and instantly lost the trust of the future Hall of Famer. That unexpectedly opened the door for a new suitor. -via Clutch Points / April 19, 2024
