Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks player, spoke about various topics for The Athletic, and at that time, he also mentioned his plans for the next season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a serious injury towards the end of the regular season in a game against the Boston Celtics, which caused him to miss the entire playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks were immediately defeated in the first round by the Indiana Pacers with a 4-2 series result.
Although it seemed like the Bucks’ season was heading in the right direction, halfway through the season, head coach Adrian Griffin was fired, and the legendary Doc Rivers took his place. However, he didn’t manage to fully shape the team by the end of the season, as evidenced by their early exit in the first round of the playoffs.
“We try to figure out the game and a game plan that complements the game and the way we play. Do we want to play fast? Do we want to play better in the half court? Do we have to defend better? Do some guys need to start?
It’s just all the things that I don’t have the answers for. And I think Doc Rivers has been in the NBA 25 years, I think he probably has the answers for that. What I know is I have to keep on figuring out ways to make my game easier and complement my teammates,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said.
The injury status is also closely monitored in Greece, which will host an Olympic qualifying tournament in July. Greece is in a group with Egypt and the Dominican Republic. In the other group are Slovenia, Croatia, and New Zealand.
