The NBA has finished its inquiry into the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo without taking further steps.
The NBA has concluded its investigation into the Milwaukee Bucks regarding the handling of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s situation, determining no further action is needed.
The league launched the review earlier after conflicting reports surfaced about the Bucks forward’s readiness to return late in the season.
Milwaukee’s two-time MVP suffered a left knee hyperextension on March 15 and did not play again before the regular season ended.
Antetokounmpo maintained he felt healthy enough to return but accused the team of withholding medical clearance.
The Bucks, however, told the NBA that they believed he didn’t genuinely want to play.
Team officials cited his absence from 3-on-3 drills as part of his comeback process, while Antetokounmpo insisted he met all requirements and never skipped practices.
At his postseason news conference, Antetokounmpo questioned why he wasn’t cleared to play.
He said he believed he had completed everything required, including multiple sessions of 3-on-3, and never refused to participate.
The dispute over his availability overshadowed Milwaukee’s late-season push and left his future with the franchise uncertain.
With the offseason approaching, the Bucks have reportedly begun exploring trade options for Antetokounmpo.
The two-time MVP’s future remains in question as Milwaukee considers potential deals with other teams.
The investigation’s closure removes any league-imposed restrictions, allowing the Bucks to move forward with their roster plans.
The Bucks will now assess their options without further NBA interference, while teams gauge the possibility of acquiring Antetokounmpo before the next season begins.
His status remains a major topic of discussion as the league prepares for potential changes in Milwaukee’s lineup.
