Bucks 'In a Good Place' With Giannis Antetokounmpo, Team President Claims originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Before NBA free agency started, there were questions about Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks. After a third straight year where the Bucks were eliminated in the first round, many believe Antetokounmpo will ask to leave the franchise that drafted him.
However, there hasn't been any update on whether Antetokounmpo wants to continue his career in Milwaukee. The rumors started to pick up some pace after the Bucks waived All-Star guard Damian Lillard to sign free agent center Myles Turner. Although Lillard is still viewed as a star in the league, he's expected to miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season due to a torn Achilles tendon.
The Bucks want to remain competitive with Antetokounmpo, but having his co-star recover from a devastating injury limits them.
On Sunday, team president Peter Feigin was interviewed during the Summer League's broadcast of the Bucks' game against the Los Angeles Clippers. NBA analyst Jared Greenberg questioned Feigin about the team's current position on Antetokounmpo's future.
The executive played it cool and said this:
"We kinda laugh internally, it's where we've been for 10 years," Feigin said. "Giannis loves Milwaukee, Milwaukee loves Giannis. We're at a good place. We feel great about it. It's business as usual."

Feigin said that the team is having a bit of fun regarding the speculation about Antetokounmpo's future with the organization. The executive summarized his answer by saying that the Greek Freak is in a good place and the team is excited to run it back with him next season.
Since the team's postseason elimination, there have been moments where Antetokounmpo dropped hints about what his next step with the Bucks is. Most of the hints he's dropped are leaning towards him staying.
