Giannis Antetokounmpo Claims Full Health Amid Bucks Feud as NBA Launches Shocking Investigation

Antetokounmpo has been out since March 17, following a left knee hyperextension that led to a bone bruise. From the start, Antetokounmpo has said he wanted to return to play this season, even though the Bucks have already been eliminated from the postseason. The Bucks have wanted — and, according to Antetokounmpo, essentially forced him — to shut it down for the season, focusing on a draft pick to help them rebuild around their star (either by using or trading the pick).

The NBA is investigating because Antetokounmpo qualifies under the league’s player participation policy (PPP), designed to keep star players on the court. If Antetokounmpo is healthy, he has to play. The NBA players’ union had previously released a statement backing Antetokounmpo, saying if he is healthy and wants to play, he should be on the court. The Bucks could face significant fines for sitting the two-time MVP if he can play.
