"Antetokounmpo was the subject of widespread rumors ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline. But the Bucks decided to keep the two-time MVP, who hasn't played since straining his right calf on Jan. 23. In the days leading up to the deadline, Kalshi had several posts on X highlighting its event contracts on Antetokounmpo's trade market and the fluctuating odds connected to the teams believed to be in the mix for his services."
"According to Kalshi's release, Antetokounmpo will be forbidden from trading on markets related to the NBA. Messages were left Friday seeking further details from Kalshi and comment from the NBA. "I love the Kalshi markets and have been checking them often recently," Antetokounmpo said in the company's release. "I like to win. It's clear to me Kalshi is going to be a winner and I'm excited to be getting involved.""
Giannis Antetokounmpo joined Kalshi as a shareholder and will support the company with live events and marketing. Kalshi identified him as the first basketball star to take an ownership stake. Antetokounmpo posted that he wanted to make some of his own opinions and said he has been following Kalshi markets. Kalshi said the partnership aligns with its long-term branding goals. The Bucks retained Antetokounmpo amid trade-deadline rumors while he recovers from a right calf strain. Kalshi previously promoted event contracts tied to Antetokounmpo's potential trade destinations. Antetokounmpo is prohibited from trading on NBA-related markets.
