Mar 22, 2025; Sacramento, California, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) dribbles against Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (10) during the first quarter at Golden 1 Center.

An NBA executive speculated that the Los Angeles Lakers have already spoken to unrestricted free agent center Brook Lopez.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo is officially returning to the NBA. The 31-year-old forward missed the entire 2024-25 season due to a torn Achilles, and now he confirmed his availability on Tuesday. He is all fit and ready to resume his basketball journey.

Despite another first-round exit, the Eastern Conference playoffs as a whole have proven the Bucks are not far away from getting back into contention.

Cleared to return after a year-long Achilles injury, the former Bucks forward is ready for an NBA comeback in the 2025–26 season.

According to Bovada Official, the Houston Rockets are currently the favorites to land Thanasis Antetokounmpo if he leaves Milwaukee.

The case for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was simple. He’s the best player on an Oklahoma City Thunder team that had the best record this season and set a league mark for margin of victory.
