At this stage, the story remains in the rumor category, but Phoenix is being mentioned as one of the franchises worth monitoring if the split with the <strong data-start=\"3051\" data-end=\"3070\">Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong> becomes irreversible.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3132\" data-end=\"3565\">The broader situation is clearly tense. In recent weeks, the disagreement between Giannis and the Bucks over the handling of his health became public, and the <strong data-start=\"3291\" data-end=\"3298\">NBA<\/strong> confirmed that it is investigating the matter under the Player Participation Policy. The <strong data-start=\"3388\" data-end=\"3408\">Associated Press<\/strong> also reported Antetokounmpo saying he was healthy and wanted to play, while Milwaukee maintained a different position.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3567\" data-end=\"3945\">In the <strong data-start=\"3574\" data-end=\"3587\">Eurohoops<\/strong> report, Phoenix\u2019s appeal is linked to the chance to team up with <strong data-start=\"3653\" data-end=\"3669\">Devin Booker<\/strong> and to the culture built by owner <strong data-start=\"3704\" data-end=\"3718\">Mat Ishbia<\/strong>. For now, however, there is no official deal or confirmed negotiation on the table. It remains one of the many storylines to follow in what could become the biggest NBA saga of the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phoenix Suns are another team to watch in the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":494013,"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":[92],"tags":[],"rumors":[175],"typology":[21],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-494014","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\/GIANNIS.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494014","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=494014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494014"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=494014"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=494014"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=494014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
