The Miami Heat's clearest path toward acquiring a superstar player is not Giannis Antetokounmpo; it's Kawhi Leonard. While all the attention this week has surrounded the potential all-out bidding war for Giannis, it's Kawhi that presents the most likely path for the Heat to significantly upgrade their roster ahead of the 2026 NBA Trade Deadline. Is there a chance that Giannis is traded between now and the trade deadline? Sure.

"I feel like we should learn is with calves -- make sure they're healthy," Rivers said before Friday's game against the Sixers. "So that may take longer than we want. That even may make Giannis frustrated over it, but we just got to try to get that right."

The Golden State Warriors have been waiting for this moment for half a decade, if not longer: Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are heading for a divorce. He is likely to be traded in the coming weeks or, at the very latest, this upcoming offseason. Folks, it's on. And the Dubs can't get him. Unless the Greek Freak proclaims that he wants to play for the Warriors and only the Warriors a demand that has not been made and isn't expected Golden State will have to watch its (okay, Joe Lacob's) dream of pairing Steph Curry with Giannis drift away.

"I guess it's fitting that it came on the eve of Thanksgiving," Spoelstra told reporters. "I just feel incredible gratitude for this organization and all of these years. I'm having a helluva time. I love what I do. I love coaching. I love this profession. I love working for this organization. I love working for, and with, amazing players and staff -- too many to count over the years."

CLEVELAND -- Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo left in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a left groin strain. Antetokounmpo began favoring his groin and hobbled up the court on defense before committing a foul and heading toward the Bucks' locker room with 3:03 remaining in the second quarter.

A substantial number of the Milwaukee faithful attended Thursday night's game at Fiserv Forum dressed in colorful Halloween costumes. But nothing in the stands were as frightening as Milwaukee's offense in the Warriors 120-110 loss. Even without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, a late scratch with a left knee injury, the Bucks got whatever shot they wanted. And it was a long-forgotten Golden State castoff who led the way.

Forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo, who missed all of the 2024-25 season with a torn Achilles tendon, has re-signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced Sunday, meaning he'll remain a teammate of his brother, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
