The Greek star refused to guarantee he will remain in Milwaukee, saying: \u201c<strong data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"1981\">I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not up to me. We\u2019ll see<\/strong>\u201d when asked whether he had played his final game for the franchise.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2051\" data-end=\"2456\">During his media session, Antetokounmpo made clear how frustrated he is with the current state of the Bucks, calling the team \u201c<strong data-start=\"2178\" data-end=\"2190\">very bad<\/strong>\u201d and saying it is \u201c<strong data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2231\">the furthest away<\/strong>\u201d from contention it has been in years. He also criticized the lack of communication inside the organization and the handling of his possible return to the floor: \u201c<strong data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2454\">I\u2019m very big on communication&#8230; it has to go both ways<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2824\">Even with the tension, Giannis did not completely close the door on a possible extension. \u201c<strong data-start=\"2549\" data-end=\"2640\">If that is on the table, then I will try to make the best decision for me and my family<\/strong>,\u201d he said, keeping every scenario open ahead of the fall. Milwaukee now faces a crucial offseason, with a coaching change and major questions about the future of its franchise player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Milwaukee\u2019s season-ending loss, the Greek star questioned his future, criticized the team\u2019s communication, and did not rule out an extension later this year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":491693,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[175],"typology":[183],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-492634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","rumors-nba-rumors","typology-rumors"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/Bucks-Giannis.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492634"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=492634"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=492634"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=492634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
