"Antetokounmpo had been the center of attention heading into the trade deadline amid reports that the Milwaukee Bucks started listening to offers for the two-time MVP and nine-time all-NBA selection. But when the deadline arrived at 3 p.m. ET, Antetokounmpo remained in Milwaukee. Antetokounmpo, who hasn't played since straining his right calf on Jan. 23, has spent his entire 13-year career with Milwaukee and led the Bucks to a title in 2021."
"Memphis' Ja Morant also hadn't been traded as of the deadline, even though his future had been the subject of much speculation over the last few weeks. Morant has spent his entire career in Memphis, but the Grizzlies are 11th in the Western Conference standings and already dealt two-time All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz this week as part of a roster overhaul."
Giannis Antetokounmpo remained with the Milwaukee Bucks at the NBA trade deadline despite reports Milwaukee had listened to offers for the two-time MVP and nine-time all-NBA selection. Antetokounmpo has not played since straining his right calf on Jan. 23 and has spent his entire 13-year career with Milwaukee, leading the franchise to a 2021 title. He has said he loves Milwaukee while wanting to play for a team committed to championship contention. The Bucks sit 12th in the Eastern Conference and have exited in the first round the past three seasons. Ja Morant also was not traded as Memphis reshaped its roster, including dealing Jaren Jackson Jr. to Utah.
