Giannis Antetokounmpo told Brazilian outlet “Coast to Coast” that he wants to return to the NBA Finals with the Milwaukee Bucks. Antetokounmpo has not requested a trade from the Bucks, the only NBA franchise he’s ever played for.

Milwaukee got off to a rough start in '24/25, going 2-8 in its first 10 games. But the Bucks steadied the ship to an extent over the course of the season, and finished with a nearly identical record as the season prior (48-34 vs. 49-33), setting up a first-round rematch with Indiana.
